Will eggs hatch even without a heating pad Cause i can't find a incubator and my chicken keep on breaking the eggs and eating them . I would like to have some chicks but i dont know what to do?
Eggs will not hatch if they have not been incubated either by a hen or by an incubator. And it's not the chickens that are breaking and eating your eggs. It's snakes, rats, raccoons, opossums and other such animals. I suggest you strengthen your coups defenses or bye/make an incubator otherwise you will never have your eggs hatch out.

How should you control the temperature and humidity on two different clutches of duck eggs incubating in the same incubator at the same time with different hatch dates?
There's no need to. Some will just hatch sooner than others.
How long do chicks stay in a incubator?
They should be left in the incubator until they are dry,fluffy and active. Do not rush to remove them as opening the incubator will effect the un-hatched and still hatching eggs. This usually takes up to 36 hours and the first hatch chicks will survive quite well without food or water since the humidity in the incubator keeps them hydrated. After 36 hours all unhatched eggs should be candled to verify viability, and the hatched chicks moved to a brooder box.
