To be franks hatching eggs not using incubator is not preferred. There are many reasons for it. It is not only the temperature which is significant in the overall process of hatching but also the supervision of incubation RH which is important. Still, these days many people are attempting to check on some uncommon ways to lay the ducks eggs.
The most sought after methods to incubate duck eggs without using incubator, is by putting the lamp beneath the lamp. However, you should double check that the egg is not placed straight under the lamp, moreover, you have to move the sides of the eggs every four-five hours to prevent accumulation of light on specific side only. Moreover, you have to ensure that you sprit the duck egg with water at least twice a day.
Then there is a process called natural incubation. In this, you can freely place the duck eggs under a broody duck. Muscovy ducks are expressed as the best egg setters and these have the capacity of hatching 12-16 eggs. But, you have to make sure that nest box should be located in the bare and clean guard, bedded with convenient litter. There must be sufficient amount of water and feed available for the broody duck and false for the ducklings when they breed.
At last, we have to understand the truth that there is a large contrast between eggs hatched by incubator and eggs hatched by other procedures. Incubator does not give only heat to the eggs, they are many other means which can keep eggs at 80-90 degree Celsius, but it is also the damp weather which is controlled in the incubator. If wetness is not there the chick may get stuck on the side of the egg and may in the end die ahead of hatching. People do effort dissimilar procedures for hatching, but only some of them prosper. Incubator is safe and is also not very expensive that it can burn a hole in you pocket. Hence, it is commendable to go for incubator.
