Heat suggestions(No lamps!)

[KikiDeAnime]

This is for backup plan 1

I need some heat source suggestions to prepare in case our broody quits after hatch day, which is unlikely but I like to have backup plans. We're down to 1 duck egg underneath her. I have a brooder set up just in case it's needed.
As of last year, I'm no longer using heat lamps. I've been unable to buy a heating plate so I need other options that will work for this.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

I have this heater in the duck pen during the winter. They love it. It’s very safe and only gets warm. You can touch it and it doesn’t burn. Not sure if it’s good for ducklings or not.

i just got my ducks a “snuggle puppy” and they love it! just put the heating packs in it and they can snuggle up to it to keep warm (it also has a heartbeat to stimulate having a mother)

it’s a bit pricey but my ducks are obsessed and i think it’s totally worth it

Had someone suggest to me that I use hot paws. The ones you use in your mitts or boots. I have not tried it as of yet.

I still use light bulbs but not heat lamps. I guess it may depend on what size brooder you have. I always use more than one bulb in case one burns out. One thing i do is use a lower water heater thermostat to regulate the heat in my brooder just like i do in my incubator. I do anchor my light holders so they do not turn over. I also keep a pelyglass lid on the top with a small board under it to along air flow. Works great for me.
