I don't know if you've ever seen the movie fly away home. A girl put soft pieces of cloth with the eggs in a drawer, and a heat lamp or something in the drawer under it. I don't know if it works.

It is very very difficult to do without an incubator. It's not the constant heat that is the hard part. It is the need for high humidity, constant humidity at a certain level. I've hatched other eggs without an incubator and even those were hard to do as they need some humidity. But duck eggs need that mother duck going into the water and sitting on those eggs or the incubator with the wet bulb.

A muscovy egg has been hatched by being carried around (horizontal) in a woman's cleavage. Possibly a damp bra or a tendency to sweat a lot helps

Stick them under a chicken.
