URGENT- help runner duckling panting

[goldfishcracker]

Im very scared, i was about to go to bed and i looked over to the ducklings brooder and one of them was opening and closing his mouth quite fast. He seemed relaxed, he was falling asleep but i think it mightve been because the lamp was too hot (although they have a space to move if it gets too warm) i took him out of the brooder for a few seconds and checked his throat and he stopped. I also turned the lamp off

Should i leave the lamp on overnight? Theyre currently 9 days old im really scared one of them is ill

Panting is just because of overheating. Whats the temperature in there?
Whats the surrounding temperature in the room?
By 9 days old mine liked it around 78-80
And the cooler side should be at least 10-15 degrees cooler.
Make sure they have water to dunk their heads in and cool themselves and clean their nose and eyes.

He can also have some food stuck in his nostrils try putting a little Tupperware deep enough for him to dunk his beak into. That always seemed to help mine when panting.
