Hello and welcome to BYC. Personally, I'd leave it to a drake the best place for advice is this forum -https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/ducks.42/

I’m not sure. We found it by our lake. We waited for the Mom to return but after two days we took it home. It is in a incubator (homemade). I’m not sure if it is alive?

You are incubating an egg!

Do you have an incubator? If not you can sometimes borrow one from a local 4-H club

I have it on a heating pad (on low) with a heat lamp. I have a plastic cover for humidity.

Sadly, if it has been two days since she sat on them i doubt it is alive :/
