This is my first time incubating duck eggs. I am using a still air incubator with the little dial/knob for heat adjustment. I have two hygrometers inside (Govee bluetooth & $10 one from amazon) they of course give different readings but I would say that i have managed a temp of ~102 throughout (Holderread rec. higher temp for still air). The eggs went in at midnight on 3/22 so today should be day 24 (?) I have manually turned every 8hrs and air cell appear to be where they should be. Today was the first day I cold feel them move, hear some, and see one has an external pip. I had planned to cont to turn thru tomorrow (day 25) and continue spraying up until hatch. My question is do I not turn the externally piped eggs (leave it facing up) or just continue as planned? Any insights/suggestions welcome. Also on a side note how long past Day 28 do you let eggs go if they don't hatch by then?
