I didn't bother to give my two Rouen ducklings any heat. Our air conditioner is not hooked up right now and our house is pretty warm. It does get down into the 70's but they are just fine and growing very fast. I think they might be 2 drakes. I got them for a buck a duck though so at least I will have fun raising them to adulthood and then will rehome them.Quick question: What is the distance between the top of the heat-plate and the rim of the box?
Have they already discovered that the top of the heat-plate is a nice place to sit?
