Answer by stulisa42
I’ve raised Pekins and they usually have a excellent amount of feathers by that age.Are you sure they are 10 weeks ancient? They will be fine in a cage or even a cardboard box with a heating pad under one end. Just under one end though, so if they are too hot, they can go to the cooler side. If they are outside, make sure the cage etc is covered and protected from the wind and rain.
