Duck hatch problem

[Katt577]

My daughter has a project where they are hatching a dozen duck eggs at camp. Hatch date was Monday. Tuesday evening adter no one hatched we did candle the eggs and saw some movement in three in and poke holes in five. It is now Wednesday morning and there was no activity. Any suggestions?

I had this problem the first time I hatched welsh harlequins. I've learned that day one starts at the 24 hour marker of being in the incubator, not by the day itself. If that makes sense lol. The start of day 2 is technically one day, so on and so forth. Is there a chance that they just need the little extra time? Ducks also need high humidity for hatching, have you looked into humidity levels? Hopefully it works out and they hatch healthy!
