Anyone use this?

has anyone used a heat source like this one, or have any comments or advice about it? I wanted something more fire proof for my 2 duck coop.

Where are you located? Ducks don't need heat unless you live next door to me in central Alberta Canada where we can get to -34C..
My Friend up North of me has that heat source for her Chickens.

I live in northern Colorado. It gets below freezing, snow etc, a regular winter...however we will have warm days above freezing commonly. I was thinking maybe putting it outside the coop in a protected corner?

Well I believe they are for indoor use and a GFI cord should be used also. I have little Call Ducks and I don't do anything for them till the temp drops below-25C they have deep straw and covered Run plus a Dog house. I'm moving them into my Chicken Coop that houses my Rabbit and bunnies as soon as the Bunnies leave. I won't use heat though.

I have the wall mounted heater from mypetchicken.com
Haven't used it yet, just tried it out on me. I think it gets pretty hot to the touch. I know ducks don't need heat but my husband thinks the runners do because they're so little. Their new condo is pretty big, so they'll be able to get away from it, and I only plan to use it in extreme conditions.

Really the only thing you need to use for ducks that has heat is a heated dog water bowl...so that there water does not freeze( I am asking for one of these for Christmas). Unless you live very north and your ducks don't get a brake for the cold.

My crazys like to take a bath in cold temps then go in their coop. If I can see my darn breath it's to cold for a splish splash, I'm taking a bath time! But then I live in houston I just add a towel or two to their coop floor and take it out in the morning to wash.

It's 20 degrees and mine are in the water. I poked a hole in the pool today breaking ice, so now they have big metal bowls they can stand in and a heated bucket for dunking. I added straw to their house but I didn't take it apart--I left it in squares against the wall. I figure they will rearrange it accordingly.

They have a shelter and the pool in that shelter with straw in the pool and another corner loaded with straw. I went to put them away and they were all laying everywhere but where the straw is.
