today marks Day 25 of incubation for call duck eggs, first time. We have 3 eggs, 2 in 1 incubator, and another one on it’s own incubator. Egg #1 has been wiggling itself for 2 says straight, and today even more so. We haven’t started lockdown, because 3 days prior, we candled them on Day 22, and there was still no internal pip. what can i do? Or what should i do? Or should i simply just wait? When will I know internal/external pip has happened?

Currently, temp is 99.5-100 degrees F, and humidity is at 60-67%

We brought up the topic onto Reddit, and was told to just stick them in the incubator and don’t touch them anymore. (Day 21)

Egg #2 has been slightly shifting their spot ever so slightly every now and then, but not on a periodic time. It’s really random, but the distance is really really minimal.

Egg #3 (in it’s own incubator), has moved or rolled, not sure, on its own, because it’s no longer in the spot originally where I had placed it.

Egg #3 was placed in a separate incubator, only because it didn’t look like a chick developed? But somehow it’s miraculously moved in the incubator? Today, no sign of movement though.

Any responses appreciated!! Just worried, and needing reassurance!

I forgot to mention, this is YuXi Incubator, & we got the call duck eggs from a farmer who had an 80% hatch usually, and we had them shipped the eggs to us. May 20th, 2024 marks Day 1.
 
Today marks Day 25.5, Egg #1, Egg #2, Egg #3, all looks the same. Egg#1 is wobbling a lot more than periodically now, but no sign of pipping (internal/external), Egg #2, is starting to show more shifts in spot and wiggling a bit, Egg #3... has not moved / wiggled.

Is it time to put Egg #1, 2 into lockdown? Or wait?
Egg #3 (in separate incubator) for some reason is in lockdown with 70% humidity
