How feathered out is it?

Way less than my pekins were at this age. Does cooler temps make them feather quicker?

I'm not sure how temps affect feathering. My concern with your duckling is that it has no feathers yet, so unless it cuddles all night long with a bigger duck your low temps might be too cold for it.

Hmmm? I'm confused because I must be the meanest Call Duck owner on the planet..
Mine sleep in houses and the temp is cold. We had snow.
That Duckling is definitely old enough to be with that Friend and become a flock member. It won't freeze to death. Add straw to the house for sleeping...

It will only acclimate to the weather if you allow it to be a Duck..Seriously and I'm being honest. It will be happier cuddling that Duck than in the house. It's making friends..

Do you have any links to studies on the subject? I'm interested in reading about it.
