When are the ducks eggs due?

I stop turning the eggs on the 3rd so they still have several more days

To move them off the egg turner.....i have only 3 rows of the egg turner and the rest of the incubator is open for the other eggs to hatch....

Good!

As soon as a chick hatches unplug the turner to avoid injuries.....pretty sure ducks can miss a couple days of turning.

That doesn't seem too bad. I'm still unclear what days the duck and chicken eggs are on but it should work. Chicks move around quite a bit and make a terrible mess after hatching. If you don't mind the mess you can leave the turner in but turned off. I'd pull it but if opening makes you uncomfortable just leave it.

Looks like you've got some strong eager chicks. Can't wait to see what they look like
