What breed are these? Most ducks take 28 days and if yours are the same, they may be a tish early. What they're doing is a lot of work to them and they quit often to rest.

Just be sure to up the humidity and pull the racks/stop rotating, now that they are in lockdown.

They are indian runners, i have them in lockdown now but just abit worried they are not making noise or moving. Ive read they may be resting through out 24-12 hours? before external not sure though this morning they were moving about around 7AM when i noticed the internal pip
 
24 hours at least. Ducks are much slower than chickens, if you're used to those. Since these are technically 2-3 days early, I wouldn't worry yet. Give them time and see if in a day there's some progress. If not, you can do safety holes, but preferably give them the chance to finish themselves.
