Heat

[Sasaran mihai]

How much should i keep my 1week and 1 day old peeling ducks at heat?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Around 78-80*F or 26-27C
Watch them if they are hot they will pant and try and move away from the heat source, if cold they will be bunched up under the heat source.

[Miss Lydia]

What are your temps outside?and inside?
Usually, we say use heat until the ducklings are good and feathered in because they can't control body heat when they only have down. But it can also depend on what temps are inside of our homes and outside if we are taking them out.

Outside rn are 22C and inside something like 27C

 

[Miss Lydia]

Do you have them inside still if so they probably don't need heat on them if it's 27C inside
22C outside is a might cool for them yet. So I wouldn't take them out in those temps.

Perfect. Just don't let them stay out if it's going to rain you don't want them to get wet and chill.
