***HELP***Abandoned Duck Egg

[ben32hayt]

Hi I found an abandoned duck egg and I want to make sure it doesn't die if it is alive. I have it in a reptibator at 99 degrees. That's is all I know how to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also I do not have an egg turner. I think the egg is from a mallard duck. PLEASE HELP ME! Yes I know the thermometer says 101 degrees but I have it set for 99

And you are certain it is a duck egg?

It needs to be turned several times a day, and kept humid. Mama duck enters the nest with wet feathers.

How can I keep the incubator humid? Any suggestions?

When turning the egg, turn different direction every time. Turning same direction all the time may cause internal tearing.

No, it was infertile. I tossed it away after two weeks.
