Okay, I believe they want you to fill *one* bag, then place that sealed one in the other and seal it, minimizing leakage. If this works like a waterbed (and it does appear to!) then the heating element would go on the *bottom* whilst the probe would be on *top*. No idea about this cloth. Honestly, I'd place it on top of the plastic bag then wrap the sper\\\eggs with the rest.And i had a chance to examine Buffzilla's nest-mountain, she came out left a large green sausage behind then turned into a quacknado:
I used the opportunity to examine mount duck-nest, candle and count the eggs. Stopped counting at 20 eggs… All in different stages, about eight look like they are about to pip internally, though is is difficult to figure out at what stage an entire black egg (inside) is…
I have also received a dirt-cheap chinese incubator - a styro-foam box with a heating element, a thermostat and very confusing instructions:
No, i am not joining the hatching business! - I just want to make sure that when the inevitable happens and Buffzilla leaves the nest with a bunch of ducklings and abandons a bunch of "bad" eggs behind, that i can take over and maybe rescue the one or the other duckling. She has entirely black eggs as well as some in early development stage in her nest.
And i paid just $30 for that Styro-Foam box…
If i understand the instructions (below, make sure your bladder is empty!) correctly, i need to put water into the two plastic-bags and lay that bag flat at the bottom of the styro-foam box, place the heating element on top of it, attach the temperature sensor. Wrap the eggs in the quilt-material that came with the whole caboodle…
@Pyxis - Hey Hatchi-wan does that make any sense to incubate eggs on some kind of a temperature controlled water-bed?

Good luck, and I mean that, lol!
