Question

Answer 1

When they are fully feathered. With chickens this is at 8 weeks. Build a coop or a place open on one side (the lee or windless side) with a roof that he can get into out of the hot sun if that is a problem, and places to hide from predators, like bushes. Coop him up at night in a secure place or he will become a midnight snack for a raccoon or something else.

Answer 2

Arent ducks born to live outside??
