    Im raising 6 ducklings-what kind of wattage do i need in my heatlamp?

    Ok, so would a 30 watt heatlamp be best for 3 ducklings? Also, would you suggest a store bought feeder or doesit really not matter?

    Im raising 6 ducklings-what kind of wattage do i need in my heatlamp?

    @Amiga what do you mean when you say ceramic? Im really new to raising ducklings, so im going the cheapest and most basic route. How many ducklings did you have in your brooder?

    Im raising 6 ducklings-what kind of wattage do i need in my heatlamp?

    So im raising ducklings, but putting them into two groups with three ducklings each. For a brooder, im making a home-made one, using a large tub. My question: what wattage bulb do i need and will it melt the plastic?? Any advice would be geat :)
