Could you take a photo of the grey spots?
In my experience it's normal to see the duckling move with a sort of flick or twitch movement, sort of like a flutter sometimes! I think being picked up and the light must wake them up.

Yep, I’d suggest candling. When you say grey area, where is it? Like where the air cell is or elsewhere? Pictures when you candle would be helpful. Being as it’s day 25 them moving is a good sign. Mine started moving on day 22? 21?) and I thought for sure they’d be early but they ended up hatching right on day 28.
