Day 30 and nothing has happened with my duck eggs.

Can you shine through the big air cell? Like down into the egg. That will help us to see better. Sorry lol. Thanks for answering the questions. They look 26-28 days to me too. The air cell is drawn down for hatching in the 28 day pic, so I would guess they look day 28.

Is this better?

Yes. I'm sorry. I see no veining. I'm thinking these eggs are late quitters unfortunately. Have you read the guide to assisted hatching for all poultry on here? I would go in as though you were assisting. I don't think any are alive, but go ahead and open them up from the air cell in and see if any are still alive. I'm sorry

Hii, I I am having the same problem, but I do see veins, it is now day 32, although 1 out of the 3 hatched day 28. The humidity is high although I’m worried they’re late due to the fluctuation of it, as the lid was opened during lockdown and the person didn’t spray the eggs after opening it. They are call ducks and I haven’t seen any movement. Do u think I should make a pip/ crack it near the top and have a look, or just wait longer? I don’t want to wait too long incase they die, but also don’t wanna rush them if they are in the process.

Hello! Did you calibrate an additional thermometer to have in the incubator prior to incubation? I'm guessing the temp was off a bit.
Do you see any movement while candling?
Candle again, and see if you can see an internal pip.

If you see an internal pip let me know. You don't want to assist until after they internally pip if you can help it.

Hello! Sorry I didn’t answer, I have not got an additional thermometer and when I was candling them before, I did not see any movement, I only saw the air sac and the veins. I’m unable to candle them again because 3 pipped pekins are due today and I don’t want to fluctuate the humidity and temperature too much for them, once my pekins are born I will candle them again.Or do you think it would be too late if I waited to candle them or to help them? Still no pips from them.

I'm sorry it's not going as planned. Please don't use the float test, it is not reliable, and it will drown your eggs. I once threw out a whole clutch of alive embryos because the float test was wrong and I wrongly trusted it. Is your temp definitely accurate? Do you have at least one calibrated thermometer in there? I would candle them again, and take pictures to post here. What day do they look according to this chart? What has your humidity been? Really watch each egg for at least 2 minutes. Tap the egg, talk to it, whistle to it, flicker the light, watch for any movement. Also, sorry about the questions but please try to answer them all, it will help us figure the problem out. Here's the chart. Oh, what kind of ducks are they? View attachment 2077508

You're going to want to start your own thread with relevant information on.the incubator model.
