have you tried these bulbs? In searching for heaters for my daughter’s lizard I saw some negative comments on cheaper ceramic heaters. They pretty much stated that a few more dollars means a much longer lifetime for the bulb. Maybe Jack could answer this with his extensive reptile experience.

I’m really glad that you’re doing this series, it’s making me excited to get some ducks myself! Your set-up for them is really cool with that water catching area. Is there somewhere where you describe how you made those brooders?

One issue that I see with the ceramic heaters vs heat lamps is that when a heat lamp gets unplug you can see it is off, where as, a ceramic you might not notice until it is to late. Perhaps a Steven Harris style Led indicator light might be a good addition as a visual indicator that all is well.

What breed are these again? And why such a market for duck vs. Chicken eggs.? We have a small spring fed stream that i am considering fencing off and building a duck pen there. Theywould have a constant supply of fresh running water, even now in winter. Just not sure i want to include ducks in the homestead…
loving these vids though. Nothing cuter than a duckling….
