I have never hatched duck eggs before. I have hatched chickens with no problem. I have a still egg incubator that has been running with no probems with temps. and humidity. The temp. right now is 100 and the humidity is 67. About a week before I put them in lock down I noticed that the egg shells started changing it was like them were almost transparent, they were kind of splotchy. I have not seen any movement or pipping. I did try to candle them and they all looked good to me. How long should I wait?
 
My last ones hatched 5 days early I was still turning them when I saw a pip. However the hatch before came 5 days late. Probably just a case of being patient for a little while longer.

What breed are they?
 
I was wondering if they were Muscovy as they take longer but Pekin are the usual time. Maybe up your humidity a bit to around 75% if possible I also mist mine with warm water which seems to help. If they go any longer than 33 days I'd pip one to see if anythings happening.
