You dont neccisarily have to, because they wil hatch naturally by themselves. If something goes HORRIBLY wrong, try to help crack the shell only.
Put it in the fridge. If you are hatching it, then use an incubator.
Duck eggs should be kept at a temperature of around 99.5°F (37.5°C). This can be achieved by using an incubator or a broody duck for natural hatching. It's important to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the incubation period for successful hatching.
To hatch a chicken egg at home, you will need an incubator to regulate temperature and humidity. Place the egg in the incubator and turn it several times a day. After about 21 days, the chick should hatch. Make sure to provide proper care and warmth for the chick after hatching.
An egg incubator is used to provide a controlled environment for eggs to develop and hatch, while a hatcher is specifically designed for the final stage of hatching eggs. Incubators generally provide the necessary temperature and humidity for embryos to develop, while hatchers optimize conditions for the hatching process itself.

No. In fact they will weigh slightly less when hatching. The weight loss is due to loss of moisture from the porous egg shell for 21 days during development. This weight loss can be reduced with proper relative humidity in the incubator. The lower the humidity surrounding the developing egg the greater the mortality rate of the embryo.
You need to start with a fertilized fresh egg. An incubator, thermometer and hydrometer would also be handy. You also need to be able to devote at least 21 days to the care of the hatching eggs. A live broody hen would do all this for you.
As soon as it is hatched! But, if not, within 25 minutes.
to do that you have to press A to pick up the egg then go to the incubator and then press a to drop it on the incubator wait in till the egg is a chick
Duck eggs should typically be removed from the incubator after they have hatched, which usually occurs around 28 days after being placed in the incubator. Before removing them, ensure that the ducklings are fully dry and have gained strength to stand and walk. It's important to wait until they are ready to move to avoid any stress or injury. If they are not hatching, you can check for viability around day 30, but it’s best to avoid premature removal.
There should be cracks in the egg but they are super small cracks.
An incubator is used to hatch fertile eggs artificially. Nothing will hatch from an unfertilised egg.
