Duck trying to internally pip on day 21??

Those pictures look fine to me development wise. You don’t have an internal pip yet, and those first photos don’t look like a bill pushing.

The air cell dipping like that happens along with the shadowing, also occurring about 1 - 2 days before an internal pip.

You can also check for an internal pip by holding the egg right up to your ear and tapping gently on the shell. You won’t always hear it, but any clicking or peeping heard is a definite sign of an internal pip.

I’d guess your babies are on track to hatch around September 6 - 7th..
I think one of them died since the veins are all gone and it’s not moving or rocking anymore
 
Veins are quite hard to see during this time, and the babies will take frequent breaks to sleep. It won’t hurt to leave that egg for a few days and see if there’s any change.
Alright cus when I candled the other one I was able to see some pretty clear veins too and I float tested it as well and it didn’t do well but imma still keep it in
