Duck eggs pipped but not hatching! HELP!!!

Good! Good luck!
Thank you so much- I’m incredibly worried about hatch. I think my eggs are day 20-21, so I’m approaching hatch day quickly. If I could stay in contact with you, that’d be wonderful! I’m like petrified hatch could go wrong. I would be so hurt if I lost any- I’m so attached to them already and they’re not even here yet!
 
Yes, sure.. we're all here to swap info and help each other out. Most here know way more than I do. :)
Insight from everyone is much appreciated! I’ve “averaged” everything I’ve researched. There isn’t a set anything. Everyone’s views on temperature/humidity/set-up/etc. works differently for everyone. Everyone has different variables, so unless someone has my exact bator, thermometer, eggs, water, etc. things that work for me may not work for others. That’s what I’ve come to realize. So you may not be a “master” per say- but maybe your set up is more similar to mine, leading to better advice where as the 20 year old experienced Hatcher may have a different set up that works for them every time not similar to mine at all. So again- I average everything I’ve learned. It seems to be working so far :fl
 
I managed to peel the membrane from that ones shell and trim off excess membrane, I do my assists in stages, do a little bit, stop and let them rest & warm back up, repeat until finished... I got 3 out and about in the brooder now! Phew! 2 left in the incubator, prognosis is pending.... we'll see their condition in the morning.

I am 100% never incubating duck eggs again, EVER!!! They will either be hatched by broody duck or hen, not me! I'll stick with chicken & quail, they're a piece of cake!

What are you feeding your ducks? Just sucker starter? Are you adding anything to it? What is that on the paper towels? Grit?
 
When the ducks are born- do I need to mix anything with their duck starter at any point?
Sorry to just be seeing your question. I would encourage you to start a new thread in the duck forum and tell about your eggs and plans.

To answer your question from my point of view, I only give a balanced duck feed at first. :)
