Ooooops sorry I think I need an early night, :wacko: 

That's what happens when you have a late night and then your little girl comes racing into the bed room early and shouts ""are the ducklings up????? "
 Well probably not but we are now! :blink:

Well I think I'm doing something right :unsure:.  I have a 150watt heat lamp but have got it over them but at about 15inches high!  Don't want them to burn but I want them to be warm :wacko:

They seem fine so I think I will judge it on how they act :blink:

The other thing I found really useful was an old paint tray. They loved running up and down and paddling! :D
