i'm not sure with duck eggs about humidity and such, but i know that the temp should be 100 F.
be sure they are pointy end down, and you can lay them on their side or in an egg carton. be sure not to use the lid on the egg carton when incubating. you should turn them three times a day. once in the morning, once in mid-day, and once before you go to bed. as for how close together i never let my eggs touch one-another, but other than that it really doesn't matter as long as all the eggs are getting the same amount of heat.

it varies from person to person but i usually candle my eggs after 5 - 6 days of incubation. the embryos develop very quickly.

i hope someone can help you out with the humidity problem, i am not what it should be with duck eggs.
