duckling brooder

I have week old ducklings. They’ve been kept in a brooder in my garage. The temperature has jumped in the last day and is now 91+ degrees and 88% humidity in the garage. The ducklings were all panting so they’re now in my bathroom. Staying in the house is not sustainable. Any tips on helping get...

I just got 5 day-old ducklings and 4 day-old chicks. All supposedly sexed as female. I have made the water accessible to all but in such a way that the ducklings can not make a huge mess. I have the kind of heater that they snuggle under with plenty of space to get away from each other. Any...

Can anyone tell me what type of duckling this is?

After reading the article, on this sight, about chicks who when raised in a brooder where they could see out the sides, became much less scared and friendlier chickens, I decided to build a brooder with a view for my ducklings. I cut/melted a large rectangle out of the side of a large plastic...
