I candled them and they seem to be alive still at this point, only one had a undeveloped embryo in it. I set them and by the looks of it they are close to hatching large air sac and duckling is basically in the whole other end of the egg. Just have to wait and see if they are going to hatch.

They need to go into an incubator and kept at about 99.5 degrees. Duck eggs take about 28 days to hatch. Humidity should be fine if you fill the wells in the bottom of the incubator with water. Good luck!!
