Help! Raccoons got my ducks, can I still hatch her eggs?

I'm just throwing this out there because I want to know. In an emergency, something like this tragedy or if you have eggs in an incubator and it suddenly doesn't work anymore could you put a towel on the bottom of a crock pot, put it on low with a little dish of water in there for humidity as well as a thermometer? Maybe tip the lid if it gets too hot? At least until you got another incubator?

Possibly.
People have used a heating pad too.

There is actually a recent thread where someone hatched some chicks in a frying skillet thing.
Let me find it.

It was @Tiana's chickens who did it.

thanks, that is awesome. I had one of those frying pans back in the 70's but still it should work the same way with a crock pot! You just have to watch carefully

I might have to turn a crock pot on low with a thermometer in it to see just how hot it gets.

that's what I was thinking about doing just to see what happens. I'm just trying to plan ahead in case the incubator doesn't work properly in the middle of everything. You could put a little cup of water in there too for humidity.
