Ok I've got 10 eggs ready to hatch today yesterday they were moving and rattling about but I checked this morning and there was no movement and no sign of any hatching the temp is at 37.5 c and humidity at 47-52 I'm worried there dead in the egg and wound hatch I quickly candled one and saw movement I know your not suppose to open the incubator on the last 5 days but I had to I was very worried I've only opened it that once I'm just annoyed and worried about the eggs not hatching someone give me some advice

Opening the incubator won't hurt them as long as there are no pips (and really probably not even then). You'll just have to be patient - ducks are really slow hatchers. Even after they externally pip sometimes they take up to 48 hours to start to zip. Patience is key with these guys :)
