The Sweeter heater looks like a sweet investment since you have power. I think it would take some experimenting to adjust its height to be beneficial. 100 watts could make a difference if not placed in a drafty location. I can envision 4 ducks shoving each other to get under an 11 x 30" heater

The larger ones can be hung up so that way they would shove each other out from under it. Or maybe not. I have a small one in my Muscovy coop with 3 Muscovy mine can be hung or mounted I have it mounted. It's about 6-8" above the shavings.

I did look into those and I would LOVE to have one. But is it worth the price? I don't know! It only has a 3 year warranty...

Would a smaller one (11x11 or 11x16) be big enough for 4 ducks or would I have to go larger (11x30)? Also, how long has yours lasted?

I've had mine for probably 8 yrs still works. I have the smallest I would def go for the next size or even the next if you can.

and 20" longs will not fit 4 Muscovy under it but I doubt very seriously all 4 would get under anyway.

Thanks, that's a good long time! I think you've convinced me! I realized it can be used for other animals too, not just the ducks. I think I'll get the 11x30 since there is a discount right now.
