Do I need a heat source for a baby duck in the summer??

Depends on how hot is where the duckling is kept. They should be at 90* the first week and drop it 5* every week till they are at the same temp during the low for the day.
If it's 90 during the day and that is the temp in the garage then I wouldn't use a lamp. However if it is by itself then it doesn't have another duck to snuggle up to if it gets cold. I would put a stuffed animal in with it and an unbreakable mirror till it has more buddies.Well, I put the baby in a small room off my garage that was warmer, and turned on a space heater since I wasn't sure where the heat lamp was and it was so late. It is doing okay. The temps have been 90 plus here lately but will be cooler for a couple days. The would prefer not to use a heat lamp in July. Thank you for your help!
