Candled duck eggs day 23 - showing ahead of schedule, advice?

[thoward1221]

Hello! I have a broody hen sitting on some pekin eggs I purchased locally. I've only candled a couple of times since she's been sitting. I just checked them this evening and the air sacs look more like they're day 26-27. I'm concerned I've messed something up by moving them or that they aren't developing properly due to too low humidity. Is there anything I can or should do? Spritz with water or just let them be?

Thanks for your help!

I'd let them be. If it has been hot in your area recently, that may have caused your eggs to be a little more developed. Leave them be and the broody will take care of the rest. In the next few days, you should have some cute little ducklings! Good luck on your hatch!

Thank you so much! Appreciate it.
