Done. The humidity is at 55%. Should I try to get it higher?

No...that is good.

Maybe you can try water candling, but I'm not sure if it's safe to do in lockdown... maybe if you use very warm water?
The best bet is to probably sit and wait.

NOOOOOOO! Please don't try this...unless you really want to kill it.

I know very little about the keeping of ducks but that looks like a possible internal pip to me. Have you tried quacking at it?

I have talked to it but I’ll play some duck sounds on my phone!

Are any of the other eggs showing signs of life? I'm hoping you get one peeper to remember your favorite duckie from.

Not that I can see. Going to leave em be and keep checking on them. I put on some duck sound effects to hopefully encourage them.

The less you mess with them the better.
I know it's hard but try not to move them around too much.

My great grandma used to water candle close to hatch eggs (chickens), but she'd place them in a thin baggie or stretch saran wrap across the top like a little egg waterbed, then water candle.
I couldn't say if this ever harmed any chicks, she always had great hatch rates. I think it was a last resort for questionable eggs, so yes, it's probably not a great idea at this point. Good luck, I'll be watching for any updates!
