Now I don't want to count my chickens ( ducks ) before they hatch but I need to give serious thought to a good brooder.

Anyone have any advice...ideas ?

I have already been told to get one with a lid :-)

do a search on here for brooder as Munty built one which is ideal

Mine probably isn't perfect but its working at the moment.
It is just a large drawer, left by people who owned the house before us, with newspaper and wood shavings and a heat lamp hanging from the ceiling, not too close due to the wood shavings.

I clean it out once a day

I used an indoor Rabbit's hutch and suspended a desk lamp from the lid in the top.  Worked a treat

Ahh...I already have a spare one of those.

Here we are .....  very easy .....

Oh I moved the rag thing out in the end.  I read somewhere that it made the chicks think it was their mum and they would like sitting under it but my chicks just liked trying to eat it.  :?

And naturally as they grew I moved the lamp out of the cage and like I said just balanced it through the hole in the top.

My ducklings lived in a big plastic box from B and Q with a lamp over the top. They had towels on the floor to begin with as they can try to eat shavings when they are really little. After a couple of days, moved onto wood shavings.
