[Vember]

Around about 35 deg C should do it

blimey thats warm....central heatings going up then........

[Vember]

I have mine in a plastic storage box big one with 2 x 60 watt bulbs and thats doing ok, you should be able to get a good temp with just one bulb in a small area

[Caralou]

It's not ideal, but use a 60w on a desk lamp over for now, at least provides some further warmth. That with the waterbottle wrapped in a towel should help on temperature. Poor little mite, I hope he/she makes it  

[Caralou]

Ooops, snap Sarah  The Polands did well with the 60w desk lamp as well and are thriving

I've gone to bed with a duckling before now, gets real snug especially in a sleeping bag

There's always the bra !! 

Rob

I'd do that! If it saved it - I am too soft at times 

[Kate and her Ducks]

This lot of ducklings were spoilt with  a proper heat lamp but the last lot did very well under a table lamp.
If you can get hold of some proper chick crumbs it will do better (make sure they are not medicated).

[Kate and her Ducks]

Done the bra thing too but guessing as you are called Lee that  might present a problem for you!

[poultrygeist]

Most chick crumbs contain coccidiostats so not suitable.
I would go for duck starter crumbs.

[Kate and her Ducks]

or organic chick crumbs.

[poultrygeist]

Sorry Lee. For some reason I thought you'd be a lady.

Either way, warmth, water and food.
