HELP, Need Brooder Box Suggestions

[ro.netcmarie]

I have 3 duck eggs and they are due March 3-4, so i was wondering about the brooder box. I am a newbie, and this is my first hatch. Currently I have a clip on desk lamp and a humidity/temp. gauge in the bator. Can i use these? How about a cardboard box for them, and put paper towels down? Heard it helps their feet from growing wrong, and its very slippery. I know to put food(mas, i do beleive), and water down at all times, but if anyone has tips please help!!!!! Hatching date is just around the corner!!!!!

I've only hatched chickens but imagine it would be the same for ducks. I usually use a rubber maid plastic tub and make sure the bottom is covered well with paper towels. Don't use newspaper as it can be slippery and cause spraddle leg. I have used a large cardboard box before and it worked fine.
