Ok, I think I found the right thread. Had a friend bring by three duck eggs last night. Mama disappeared, and there were other chicken and duck eggs strewn along their back area...pretty sure it was a racoon. Mama didn't return all day into the night. He called me later in the evening. Yes, I took them, but gave one back, it for sure was not started, but the other two, had veins in them..the eggs were cold..but I told him I would let them warm up then recandle. Sure enough, they were swimming around like crazy. I've looked at chart..guessing around 8 to 10 days.

I will candle and take photos tonight..then maybe I can get someone on here to give me a guesstament? :D I can't keep ducks, but have done this for him before. It was a long time ago, and we really didn't know for sure then..they were pretty far along. I just kept candling to see if they pipped internally. I had a few hatch. This time, he is guessing that mom was sitting for around a weeks time.
Pretty sure the temp is the same as chicks...? When to spray? If I need to. They are in a fan bator. Right now I have them at around mid 40% humidity. Need more?

Thank you to the experts here! :)
