I have no idea what I am doing

[WVduckchick]

I use a red..175 watt heat lamp and brood in totes....mine clamps on and I can adjust the temp as needed...I never follow any set temp...I go by how the Ducklings are reacting inside the Brooder.....

I use a 175 red bulb or my Brinsea brooder plate, but I totally agree with adjusting for the duckling. They are all different! The 5 degree adjustment per week means diddly squat to me.

LMAO Thanks I needed that.

I strongly suggest you use a heating pad instead of the lamp. I would go ahead and get one without auto shut off. a) it will feel more cuddly to the ling b) natural day/night light cycle. c)less concern about overheating/fire risk. The Mama Heating Pad brooder is very easy to make. I got my heat pad a Wallgreens for 20 -30 dls. Very easy to make with materials usually on hand!

But we shouldn't laugh. Many folks do it. There is a whole thread here for House Ducks. I would guess Steven will be a resident there very soon.

So did we take our duck/egg to work today or stay home?

(Steven, I sincerely hope you aren't offended by me teasing you. I love what you are doing and wish you the most sincere luck in the world!)

Please keep it coming I love all of the advice and jokes. This is the only thing that has gotten me through to this point. I would not have been able to get this far without the advice and support and we all need a good chuckle every now and then. So thank you again
