day 29... moving but even no internal pipping

[duckfirst]

hi, this is my first time incubating anything, and I decided to have ducks. I know its day 29, and both of them are alive. But no internal pipping, not even yet. But the movements are starting to get weaker... I’m starting to get real worried. What should I do?

what breed of ducks are they and what do you have your temperature and humidity set at?

What temp and humidity did you keep the eggs at through incubation ?
This can speed or delay hatch times by a few days
Usually before they internal pip you will see eggs rocking as babies get into hatch position then when you candle your will see a lot of shadow movements along the air cell
There is also another option
Do you see any bruises on the egg outside f the air cell ? If so they could be In the wrong position

My temp was set at 38 degrees Celsius. I have a breed of Khaki Campbell duck eggs.

Btw everyone I don't have a humidity measurer, so I just kept the humidifier full most of the time.

That could give you really high humidity
Depending what bator you are using
Can you mark and candle your egg with pics so we see how big the air cell is ?

I see no bruises, no shadows, so I'm sure that they are not internally pipped yet. I'm just worried that they might be either dried out because I didn't mist them, or the humidity was too high, so they cannot move.

Both have decently large air cells

have you candled them?
