Call duck egg help

[Latkie]

I’m having really bad luck with incubating duck eggs for the first time. I currently have one call duck egg in my incubator. On Thursday it started to internally pip. Friday afternoon, I candled it, it was still internally pipping. I increased humidity to 65% and working on getting to 75%. I checked it this morning and no internal pip, no movement and no peeping. Should I open it up and see what happened as I’m sure it is now dead? Or give it more time?

What did you decide to do?
And what was the result?

That’s ok, thank you for reaching out. I waited the 48 hrs then cracked it open and the duckling was dead. So for my last two remaining eggs, instead of letting nature do its thing, as soon as they externally pipped, I started to help get them out of the shell. By the end of the day both eggs hatched and now I have two ducklings and they are doing very well . Hatched Saturday
