I also only heat my brooder (just one end) to 90-95 for that first day when you are first taking them out of the incubator and they might still be a little wet.
The next day I adjust it down to about 85 in the warmest spot.
Ducks don't seem to need as much heat as one thinks.
You can tell if they're cold and warm them up a little more if they are all huddled up and refusing to move out from under the heat.
I would rather risk them getting a little cool and turn the heat up for them then have them overheating and dehydrating.
