Thanks. I do. They are Ancona Duck eggs. I had one hatch early on day 25 and one hatch today on day 26. The one that’s pipping on the wrong end started two nights ago, but didn’t create a hole until yesterday morning. So I’m both eager to help, but want to wait because it’s still early. I wish I knew more of what to look for. Thanks for the help and hope the duckling gains strength and gets itself out tonight. There are eight other eggs in the incubator, but not sure if all have made it. I have tossed out three of them.

What did you keep humidity and temp at the whole time and then at lockdown? Did you mist them? I have ancona duck eggs in I'm on day 19.

Hi. Sorry, haven’t been on as we had a predator take a chicken so have been moving coops and putting up fencing. I had humidity at 50% and bumped to 55% as per the farmer who sold me the eggs and who consistently hatches them. Lock down was day 25, I believe. I misted only because I took a couple of duckling out at the beginning. Good luck!!
