Hi!
Sorry about the loss of so many ducklings. I know usually those that make it that far but don't hatch, could have been something wrong with the duckling. That many though, I do wonder why.
The temp should be 99.5 for the whole 28 days and humidity sounds okay until lockdown, and then...
My splash hen with mauve roo makes some gorgeous chicks. She's with a blue rooster since a couple of days ago, so we'll get some more blues and splashes from them. The NN satin paint silkie I'll put with its sibling, a black rooster from paint parents, except I don't know where this guy got...
You might want to put your others on some Poultry Cell for a day or two as well just for the boost in their vitamins. Heck, I'd even do some probiotics for them all as well just for that boost to their digestive systems. That gets rid of bad bacteria in their system and replaces it with good...

The other thing I'd worry about is their diet. Turkeys need a higher protein game...
If you find any holes out of chickens' reach, you can fill those with steel wool. Otherwise, most of us would cover the holes with 1/2" hardware cloth. Nothing gets through that. I'm so scared for you that it's going to happen again.
A gallon is 128 fl oz so that's .0937 ml per oz. X 28 oz = 2.65 ml.
If you could find a quart sprayer, then you'd just divide the vial in 4ths so an even 3 ml. (4 quarts in a gallon).
