However, use of these plugs without a transformer or voltage converter can result in fireworks. The voltage in Europe is twice that of the voltage in the United States, and while many electronics are designed to adapt to voltage changes, it is crucial to check. If the device is not capable of handling 220 volts of electricity, it will fail.
By the time the ducklings are 3-5 weeks old, weather-dependent, they can spend warm, sunny days outside, carefully supervised and protected from predators. Until the ducks are fully feathered around 7-9 weeks old, they have trouble regulating their body temperature and need heat.
We keep our duck babies in a large black plastic deep tub for at least 10 days. When they leave that cage they go into another cage with a heat lamp on a timer for night only to let them acclamate. It depends on the tempereature where you are.If it is still 40* to 50* at night, it's too cold.We don't put them near water they can get in until they are several weeks old but, we tend to be very careful with them. I have seen mother ducks take babies to water within a day or two of hatching.enerally two weeks minimum. But you want to start reducing the temperature daily by moving the heat lamp higher up. It also depends on the night temperature. If it's not dropping below 50 where you live, you can get them outside at two weeks... but only if they have protection from wind, rain, not sun and predators.
