Well the 3rd one took all day but its out.. im not sure if the 3rd one will live. It was positioned in the shell really weird and had a hard time getting out.. also it has what appears to be a bit ofnthe yolk sack outside its body?! i put it in a cup to atop it from moving too much but its making a lot of noise

It can still absorb after hatching just keep in the cup on a soft cloth. Making alot of noise is good. Healthy Lungs! Give it time!

I put it on a paper towel, is that bad? i can change for a clothif i have to

Paper towel should be fine, leave her in the cup for a while and let her absorb the rest of the yolk. Chirping is a good sign ! Keep us updated !

Its in there.. not chirping anymore.. eyes closed but breathing .. what should my incubator be at for it to be comfortable?

Around 90-95f should be fine. You've done all you can, hopefully, he will pull through!

Hey sorry yes.. the last duckling is in the brooder with the others.. one night alone in the incubator in a cup pretty much got rod of the yolk sac. Its moving a bit slower than the rest but it is eating and drinking and walking around
