So I'm back with just about the same question as before, but now with different information... Ducklings are nearly 5 weeks old... Here's a recent pic.
They are nearly fully feathered, except for around their rump, and they've been spending all days outside. At nights, they come inside and make a TREMENDOUS mess in their brooder, but I've not had the heat lamp on. They've been quite alright with the room temp inside. Now I really want them out, but it's getting down to a low of the 30s at night... Can I provide the heat lamp outside in their coop? It's also going to be raining... is that a problem? Also, I don't have any hay.... Is dried grass clippings OK? Thanks in advance!!
