    Duckling is breathing heavily

    i put her outside for about 10 min and then moved the heat lamp away further than before. Now she is not panting, and has a calm breathing and is sleeping.

    Yes I gave him lots of water in a bowl as opposed to his usual water feeder so he can directly drink it.
