Meningitis in Adults Quick Overview. Meningitis is a potentially life-threatening infection of the meninges, the tough layer of tissue that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord. If not treated, meningitis can lead to brain swelling and cause permanent disability, coma, and even death.
i moved my 3 ducks outside at 2 weeks for the same reason. we didnt use a heat lamp but they are housed with 2.5 mo old chicks to help stay warm. the temp has dropped into the low 40's and the birds have been fine outside for 2 weeks now. as long as you have the heat lamp they should be fine.
If I put them out too soon I'm afraid they might not go in the coop at night, and they,re too hard for me to catch even with a net. Yet I want tem to learn from the big ducks too so I'm debating how soon to let them out of the house.Maybe I should let 2 out at a time to test...not yet of course at 1 week old. have 13 baby ducks 1 week old. I want them to learn to go in the coop with the big ducks at night due to lots of predators outside.
