Okay.... just new to this so it kind of scared me... I just dont want to be responsible for the deaths of the little guys... and yeah, they're not acting like theyre in too much pain... but I'll keep an eye on them and make sure their behavior doesn't change...
 
Cool water for sure on the burns.

I also would just like to note that having a heat lamp over water doesn't seem like a good idea because of the risk of electrical shock. If your concerned about them being cold fill the tub with lukewarm water. After their swim do a quick towel dry and get them back to their clean, warm brooder where the heat lamp is.

I dont put water in the bathtub, considering the fact I clean their cage outside and I dont want to have to worry about them drowning...

I apologize, when I think of bathtubs I think of them full of water! I am so sorry :lol:

Its okay... lol... they seem to be doing better, and getting a better look at them, it doesn't look too bad... theres just a bald spot and it doesn't look blistered or red anymore... so, I think theyll be just fine...

Please help, severe skin condition, wound/injury. Likely made worse by frost and pecking.

2 week old duckling breathing heavy? Sneezing? Sounds wheezy.
