Duck Egg Question

[Ducks4u]

I’m attempting to improve my hatch rate this go around. We have 6 fertile duck eggs in the setter at the moment, day 19. I have been misting and letting my eggs cool daily for 10 mins before placing them back in the incubator.

1) My question is; As we are approaching day 25, should I continue to rest and cool down the eggs over the last 3 days before hatch?

2) Or leave them alone under the heater and keep the humidity consistent (35-40%, max of 45%)?

3) Confirming: Hatch temp 99.5 & Humidity 60-65%.

When you lockdown, stop cooling. You can't open the incubator, you'll shrink wrap them. The last 3 days, up humidity to 65-75%.
