URGENT !!Incubating Duck Egg On Heating Pad

[Lenakea0702]

hello ,
So I Have This Duck egg That I Recently got yesterday & it has a little crack on it & Its Recently On the Heating Pad At Its Lowest setting What Do i Do !!!!!!This Is The Before Picture & After picture

I'm gonna be honest, the odds aren't good here. To begin with, a crack already lowers its chances significantly. And a heating pad is probably not going to be able to hatch it. Eggs need a constant temperature of 101.5 degrees around them in a still air situation like this would be. And that's all the way around them, not just something they're laying on. And it has to be pretty much that temperature constantly, no big fluctuation. And the humidity also has to be controlled.

I would toss this egg out, buy, borrow, or make a real incubator, wait for your duck to lay more eggs and collect about ten days' worth, then put them all in the incubator at the same time.

So if theres a crack there cant be a possibility that it can be hatched ?

You can hatch a cracked egg, but chances are very slim. Especially with the way you're trying to hatch it, which on its own probably wouldn't work. No reason to try with this one when you can just wait for more eggs, get a real incubator, and hatch those eggs instead.
