Am i able to incubate a Muscovy Duck egg?

[JanetMarie]

Well, im kinda worried. Why? Although the veining is excellent, i see no movement......

It's too early to see any movement, and you may not see movement at all later. It is really encouraging though when you do see movement though.

The veining is what you want to see at this early stage.

Ok so if you can keep it warm enough I'm not worried about humidity till lock down. I dry incubated my ducks and chickens with 95% hatch rate this year. but I due start misting once a day after first week, I leave lid of bator for few minutes while candling and misting.

Could you heat rocks use sand as insulation / regulation material to control heat and store it with egg nest in center.

Now i am going to make a homemade incubator that uses up electricity!

I think that would be best There are loads of DIY pages here for incubators, how to build them, upcycling common household things into incubators, etc: Incubators & Brooders
