100% normal results and echo was all clear! Say hello to Michael Ezra everyone!
 
I hope its ok that i ask questions here. Yesterday was day 28 of my duck eggs and nothing happened. Humidity right now is between 70-75% and temp is usually around 100 because theyre on lockdown. Some of the eggs formed light gray splotches on them and im not sure what that means. I read it might be bacteria growing but i washed my hands every time i candled them so i dont know how that could happen. They dont smell, should i let them sit for another day or is it ok if i candle them? Im scared to open the incubator on lockdown and i dont hear peeping

What was the temp when you incubated them? What kind of ducks are they? I would let them sit.

Let 'em be. If temp was a bit low to start with, the hatch could be delayed. Not only is there nothing you can do this late in the game, but letting them alone for a few extra days won't hurt a thing, unless they start to smell bad.
