I’m hatching some duck eggs in an incubator. With it being so hot do I need to put the ducklings under a light still?

Yes! Hatched several chickens and ducks back in the day and thermometer is key with some airflow.

Probably in my garage so not in the A/C. I’ve kept baby chicks and ducks like this but never ones that I actually hatched.

It would be good if you have a big brooder, so they can get out of the heat.
