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.
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.hen I took them out and let them dry off in the sun. They'd end up back in their brooder with the heat lamp the rest of the time. I never allowed them to get sopping wet. 2 dogs, Luna and Ziggy, 8 hens and one rooster, and one husband, but no more guineas.
