weather and warmth

[mlh93080]

I hope someone can answer my question. I have one group of 4 week old ducks and another group of 2 week old ducks. the weather here has gone from a high of 60 to a high of about 90. should i still use the heat lamp when the temperature is 90 outside? I don't know if they need the extra heat in this weather.

I think the best way to tell is by the ducklings behavior. If they huddle/pile they'll need additional heat. If they seem happy, running around and snuggle near, but not on top of one another, to nap then they seem like they would be fine without the lamp.
