Random panting in Duckling?

[Miss Lydia]

They may enjoy a lower temp around 80 just see how they react if they stay out from under the heat lamp you might want to go a little lower with the temp

They were huddling a bit more at low 79, Si I’m trying to hit mid to low 80s!

Every duckling is different so it’s just watching and going according to how they are acting when it comes to warmth

Currently going at 79-82. But I’m considering them not huddling under the direct point a win

We are once again resting in a duckling cuddle puddle. Temp is going from 79-85. Usually it’s 82-84. The kitchen drawer is well

How are the ducklings doing today? temps steady in the brooder?

Ducklings are getting very big! Temp isn’t as stable as I’d like, because of how much it’s fluxing outside, and inside (it’s stable inside now). Either way, their temp is at 80 or so, and they’re nice and warm when I pick them up. All seems well, as they’re not huddling or shivering! It spikes to 82 when the heater kicks on

How old are they? Sounds like they are doing good. Just remember each week the temp needs to drop 5* so by the time they are feathered in they will be ready for the out of doors. Also on nice days when it's above 70 they can have a field trip outside in a protected area another way to acclimate them to outdoor temps.

I remember! a week old, now! I came in this morning and they were pretty far from the lamp (last night they were by it) so I raised it up, it was 79 in there. Forgot to check the temp before I left, but I will and update it here. The biggest duckling’s bill has gone dark!! She’s getting so big!
