Advice needed

First, the count down on the incubator is at 5 days! What now? Should the temp or humidity change?
Secondly, how do I keep adult ducks off our patio? Liquid Fence did nothing. Sonic beeping thing did nothing. They pooped on it and laid beside it!

Hoses work for pooping. Other than some kind of fencing. If mine can get on the patio they like to it's closer to us[the rest of their flock]

Now about incubating @WVduckchick

They also like the patio because it's cool and of course they like to go and poop where you don't want them to.

Wait until the countdown gets to day 3. Then your humidity needs raised to 65-70%.
What have you been running so far? What kind of incubator? Have you candled to check the air cells? What kind of ducks??

I hose the pool away 2x a day. I thought maybe they were looking for shade, but making one for them away from the patio didnt work either.

Oh and

The humidity has been about 50-55%. It is a farm innovator pro series digital incubator. Temp has been 100-101. We have candled the eggs... I am not sure what I am looking at lol. Even with the charts on line as a reference. They are Peking duck eggs

Well at this point, when candling, you should see mostly a dark blob of the duckling, still some veins and fluid close to the air cell. And movement! Mainly candling is to confirm life inside the egg, and proper air cell size.

Does that incubator have a fan?

Also maybe check out the Red link in my signature line on humidity
