Chucks? Duckins?

Not surprising, the odd egg was unfertilized. I incubated five duck eggs with it....hopefully I get some hens for my randy drake!

They should hatch on the 11/8. This is my first time hatching duck eggs. The incubation process seems a little different. The eggs seem more clear, and I can see the chick better. They are moving around a lot, not something I see in chick eggs.

Do I lock them down at 25 days? Is there anything different I need to know?
 
I have never hatched duck eggs, tho it something I want to do in the near future(considering I am asking for an incubator for Christmas :)) Anyway....I have NO....zero.....knowledge on this so....some more people need to hope on and explain when lock down happens....what I have heard was lock down is at 3 weeks left of incubation....or 3 days!
 
Duck (mallard type)eggs incubate in 26-28 days. Three weeks would be nearly the entire incubation. Lock down is the final three days.
