please can people tell me there tips for the incubating period of the calll duck, currently on day 2 but am worrying as ive heard that call ducks struggle to hatch, humidity is about 60-70% and temperature is about 36.5-37.3

I have previously hatched chicken eggs.
 
I've hatched a few call ducks, and I recommend lowering your humidity to 35-45% for the first 23-24 days, then raising it to 60-70%. If you incubate at 60-70% from the start, you will almost certainly lose most of your eggs.

I also recommend getting your temperature closer to 37.5.
36.5 c = 97.7
37.3 = 99.14

What incubator are you using?
 
Your humidity seems high. Have hatched calls twice previously and I have always kept humidity around 50-55% and then increase to 65-70% during lockdown. The exception is if you live in a high humidity state, such as Florida, then your initial humidity can be lower from what I've read. I also incubate at 99.5 F (not sure the celsius conversion).
