This is what happens... We have peepers!

175 watt for my Call Ducklings. Clip on lamp. I adjust it as needed. Temporary brooder because I sell quickly.

People do it all the time brood chicks and ducklings together. But watching my 4 since Thursday I don’t think I’d want to put the two together. It’s a good idea being able to separate your brooder. Your chicks will thank you!

That's why I bought a big hutch for the brooder! So I can divide it if needed.

It's been 21 hours now since I saw the external pips. Loads of wiggling and peeping going on.

Yes..Ducklings take a bit longer. Mine are internally pipped and I don't expect to see babies till Monday..

175 W and the other one I don't know.

I use a regular 75w light bulb...not a heat lamp and the regular light bulb gets plenty warm enough.

I put both lamps in. One lower for the chicks. I divided the brooder as well...

Two ducklings started zipping and two of the Andalusians are rocking!

Two separate Brooders are ideal really.

Still I love my digital thermometer so nice to know exactly what the temps are.

Very exciting sumi, I hate to leave.
