Call duck eggs incubation and hatching info needed!

hi, im new to hatching anything ! i have some call ducks in the incubator but dont know if i should keep them close together or spread them out ?
That's a great question and I have heard sooooo many different stories about this.

but with my Experience it doesn't matter. Some say Don't let the eggs touch each other and some say it's OK.

But you have to think like a duck. Does a duck REALLY keep all her eggs separated when she's sitting?? NO, they do NOT. In fact, I have had them Pile them on top of each. I would not recommend putting the eggs on top of each other but I would say your SAFE in letting them touch each other. GOOD LUCK TO YOU keep us informed.
 
yes thank you i decieded to let them touch but now another question...they are on day 15 and from the charts i have seen i think the air sack is to small im not sure if the humidity is staying stable enough i have a humidity and thermoetor in the incubator but not sure which is correct

ok we are on day 22 im thinking that i may have some late ones because of having problems keeping my heat and humidity where it should of been i have candled them and they are growing im getting excited ...i did have a mama call hatch out 10 babies oh so cute! 2 days after she left the nest i changed her bedding since we had gotten a ton of rain and it was pretty wet in doing so i heard a peeping started looking at the eggs that didnt hatch (and found one tha was trying to hatch out it had its air hole and was sticking its beak out so i wet the shell a bit and helped the poor little thing brought it in the house put it in the bator to dry. made a transition box for it to stay in for a couple of days it is 3 days behind the other chicks that she hatched out

having trouble keeping the temp up but it has been averaging 100% and the humidity around 30% they go into lock down tomorrow the air sack all look good the eggs are full so im hoping all goes well i do have one egg that looks a little weird and i noticed today it has a space at the small end of the egg it does not smell so i dont know what to think?
