Hatching duck eggs...

[Chickie Mamma]

Hello, I am new here and I was wondering if anyone had an idea on what to do about duck eggs hatching early. I have 4, all pipped, one has his bill out. How long can they survive like this? It is only day 22. Are they formed enough to hatch. They are all peeping too. Incubator was set at 100 degrees for my still air incubator. Any info would be greatly appreciated...Thanks!!

Just leave them alone and keep the humidity up. My ducks pipped 2-3 days early and then seemingly did nothing till day 28 when they suddenly tore giant holes in eggs in a matter of minutes and came out.
