I treat mine just like chickens eggs, except that I mist them with water every time I turn them.

I only hatched duck eggs once. I added them in with chickn and guinea eggs in the sportsman bator and let them go.. they hatched .. no misting or special treatment..

No, you donb't have to mist them. They should have a bit higher humidity than chicken eggs. 65% is recommended. But like the previous poster said, many people have hatched them right along with chicken eggs, with no special treatment. And no, you don't have to cool them, but it won't hurt them if you do.
