Hey all.
As I mentioned in the other thread, I've been taking care of this one abandoned muscovy duckling for the past month. We know it's basically about a month old at this point, considering we saw it hatch with its other siblings (their mother literally put her nest at the side of our house!) on April 15th last month. It's grown quite large since then, so now I just want to know if I still need to continue using this heat lamp above it, or if it's at the age where it can regulate its temperature on its own.
What do you think?
