ive bought 4 duck eggs from ebay (to hatch as pets), and ive made my own incubater (cos the woman off ebay said i need one), its:

-a polystyrene box with holes in, and a pan of water underneath, a lamp over the top and a fan to blow the heat through, but.......

1) what watt bulb should i use
2) what should the temp be
3) will this work?

That's lovely.

A few years ago we had a mother duck who got taken by the fox. Two of the eggs survived in the incubator.

You better watch you're not the first person they see when they hatch, or you won't get a moment's rest.

oh their faces are gonna be a picture

It was a professional one, but I think it's from the 1980s. So yours is probably better than ours.
