Hello, all!
I'm new to the boards...My wife and I are parents to 6 3 week old ducklings we purchased from TSC. They currently reside in our garage. I'm finding it near impossible to clean their bedding (newspaper & wood shavings) off the concrete. My first question is can I just put the shavings on the bare concrete and change it over daily? It's mainly the side where the water is that sticks the newspaper to the concrete.
Secondly, At what point can I discontinue the heat lamp? We live in Texas and during the day the garage already gets rather toasty. I haven't noticed them getting hot or gasping for air.
