I don't know how different ducks are from chicks for hatching eggs, but if you post over in the duck part of the forum maybe some duck experts can chime in on the differences. I think duck eggs need to be turned more often (?) but again, I've been researching chicken eggs.
It would depend on your humidity if you use one pot or two pots or none at all during the first part. This is why they recommend weighing the eggs so you know if you need more water/less water, etc. They recommend filling both pots for lockdown because you want the higher humidity then.
This is where they recommending weighing the eggs during incubation, they should lose weight if your humidity is correct. There are some pretty good tips on the forum about this too. The "pot" is in the center of the incubator and it is separated into two that is the divider and the walls of the...
I don't know why the link won't work for you. Try googling Brinsea Mini Eco manual. It pops up as the first choice, but it is a pdf format. If you don't have the reader you can click on "quick view" and it will open that way too. Here's a copy of what I am talking about (when you google it). I...

There's the manual for it. It says to turn the eggs 3 times a day starting on the second day and stop turning eggs 2 days before hatch. It looks like it has a temp control that you turn manually to...
