i accidentally allowed one of my ducks to nest a few eggs too late in the season(i didn't know she had them until they were already developing). only 2 of them are hatching because the others are unfertilized. one of the developing ones pipped earlier today, and i have been checking on it hourly. it is breathing inside the egg nicely and seems fine. this is my first time ever hatching any eggs though, and i would like to bring it inside before it hatches so that the cats don't eat it. i am having a dilemma over whether or not i should do that though. i have a nice setup for when it hatches, but i don't have an incubator. if i make a nice nest under a medium heat light bulb, would it be too dry and create problems with hatching? i have some work that i need to finish up and can't just wait outside for it to hatch. what should i do until it hatches?
any other tips for a first timer would be greatly appreciated too.
thanks in advance!
