    Brooding Help!

    So I have three mallard ducks, and, I have read a lot about brooding. It has really hot outside so I don't want to put a heat lamp by them but I did put a wool hat in their bed. I also have water they can walk in and out of. Is this enough. Is it necessary for them to have a heat lamp?
