Can Days Old Ducklings be Wet?

[AAcres]

Silly question, but can ducklings who are only a few days old be wet? They are in the brooder and constantly wet from playing in their water. I'm afraid they will get sick?
They have a chick waterer for now so cannot get their whole bodies in but their heads, feet and bums get wet from splashing around or trying to sit in it.

Do you have a good heat source away from the set area they can dry under?

As long as they have a heat source they will be fine.Mother ducklings introduce there babies into water when there only a few days old.

I do have a heat lamp for them. The brooder is a bit small so the whole area is warm for them. I haven't seen them panting or anything so I think it is okay. I will be getting a bigger set up very soon so they will have a way to get away from the heat or go under it if they like.

This works for Ducklings

Definitely Ducklings need to escape heat or use it. I raise Calls and definitely not as much heat is needed as for Chicks. Heat only part of the Brooder they sleep..
