Duck eggs on day 32! HELP!!

[AllPetsMatter]

I have two duck eggs on day 32 right now and im really worried. I made a small hole in one on day 30 but can’t tell if either are alive. This is my first time hatching ducks in an incubator and I want to know what I have been doing wrong. Temperature has stayed around 37-37.5c and humidity around 60-65.
There are many different possibilities for breeds:
Khaki Campbell-Cayuga
Buff duck-Cayuga
Indian runner-Cayuga
Buff duck-Pekin
Indian runner- Pekin
Khaki Campbell- Pekin
The males are the Pekin, Cayuga, and a half Pekin/half khaki Campbell
The females are khaki Campbell, buff duck, and Indian runner.

I want to know why this is happening! If you have any tips or no what’s going on please help!

Is your incubator still air or forced air with a fan? Are those temperatures coming from a thermometer you know to be accurate, or are the coming from a new thermometer or off the display of the incubator?

I believe it’s a still air. And the temp and humidity is coming from the display.

Okay, so I would start by taking the temperature inside it with a thermometer that you know is accurate, because the displays tend to not be on some incubators. Also, a still air incubator needs to be 38.6 C measured at the top of the eggs. A temperature that is too low will cause a late hatch.

Have you candled to see how developed they are and if they are still alive?

Thank you I will put in a regular thermometer and raise the temp if too low. I have checked the eggs and can’t tell if they’re alive.

I raised the temp and humidity up to 70% humidity and 38.2c. I then decided to slowing open up the eggs on the side with the air sack. One looks like it got shrink wrapped in the membrane and the other one was completely covered up in a blody chunky liquid. I’m really not sure what else to do at this point because I don’t want to kill them but I don’t know if I should help more.

I really wouldn't be opening the eggs unless they have internally pipped. Have they internally pipped? Can you post pictures of the ones you opened and also candle ones that you haven't opened, if there are any, and post pictures of that?

I have one picture. Sorry it isn’t that good I didn’t want to open the incubator.

Do you think I should take the eggs out?? I think one is starting to smell and I don’t want to cause any problems.
