Electric Hen v Heat Bulb

[Massey]

Hi all,

I have heard people swear by the electric hen versus the light bulb for chickens for many reason,

- Running costs
- Fire safety
- Stronger chicks
and many more,

But I have also heard that the heat bulb is better for water fowl,

what are people's experiences here with waterfowl and method of heat in brooder for both ducks and geese,

I've used an EcoGlow on ducklings without any issues - it was just like with chicks. Although ducklings don't seem to need heat as much as chicks both in the brooder and when being raised naturally by a duck.
