Ducklings.

Hi, this is my second attempt at raising ducks, previous raised turkey's. I lost all my ducklings some drowned, some got taken by a feral cat, lesson's learned.
Now my only female duck has started to lay eggs 7 upto now. This time I'm going to put ducklings into a brooder and bring them indoors. I'm told conflicting advise to what temperature should be, some say 95f and others say 90f for the first week.
I live in Philippines temperature is 85 to 90 at daytime and 72 to 75f during the night. I will bring the brooder in at night. From the feral cat.
So what temperature do I have to keep the ducklings warm?

But you must also have a cooler side of the brooder for them to get away from the heat if they feel too hot. so what you do is put the heat on one side. and use a thermometer to check it often . I use a laser thermometer.
Don’t put their water in the heat
Give them water server that they can dunk their head into, but not get their body in.
I cut holes in the tops of food storage containers like this start smaller and give bigger as they grow
