  1. I'd think of a heat lamp, setup in a shoe box and a towel in it
  2. try buying one they have some for like $10 when I use to hatch go to murray mcmurray hatchery.com
  3. aquarium. some straw on the bottom to make a nest a 50 to 65 watt light bulb that you can install in the old aquarium top. every other day rotate the eggs
  4. To get a successful hatch, you do need to be able to control the temperature and humidity. If it's off, your eggs may not hatch or your ducklings may be born with deformities. School of hard knocks speaking here. :) You can purchase a small incubator from companies like Murray McMurray and other mail-order poultry hatcheries. Duck eggs should be incubated at about 95-100 degrees F. Relative humidity needs to be at 55-60% for a successful hatch.
  5. You may be able to find the info you need at homesteadingtoday.com They have a forum devoted to poultry there. It's where I learned quite a few things about raising my chickens.
