How Warm?

[BellaBMM]

I'm getting 5 day old Cayuga ducklings 4 to be exact. I have a brooder for them and getting pine shavings, also an incubator light. It is very warm around here and I want to know how hot should the duckies be? Thanks!

first week they should be kept at around 85* each week after drop the temp 5* till they are room temp. Get a good thermometer to put in the brooder to keep track of temps over heating could happen fast.
