our ducks and meat birds are about 3 weeks old and live in a stable at night and we've been putting them out in a covered run during the day this week - they seem really happy and i dont think they are cold!  at night they have the heat lamp and half the stable still has left over straw - every single one of them likes to huddle in the straw rather than be under the heat lamp on the hempcore.  I'm wondering if it's time to leave the lamp off at night or is it too soon?

Ducklings are aylesburys and chicks are hubbards.

PS -  i know it's to get cold at the weekend so i think i'll be wanting to put the heat back on then...
