Hatching Help

[Rose Quartz]

They are upright in the carton so I just put the flashlight on top of the egg. It looks like a white circle on top. One egg I maybe see slight movement. I did not see movement in one, and I have one that is further behind and it is moving. I still see the veins in this one and it is not quite filled up with as much darkness. I don't know if I need to remove them from the carton or leave them alone. I used the carton at lock down because I had to travel with them and did not want them to break.
What temp in C and what humidity do you recommend?

I havent hatched ducks myself but tried to look up an answer for you. Looks like 37.5c (forced air)and about 75% rh for lockdown. Which is the same for chicken eggs.

But since i havent actually set duck eggs maybe wait for someone else recommendation.

So some are still alive. Sounds like you just need to wait a little longer. Temp between 99-100 should be fine, humidity 70-75%ish.

On my third one, should I be turning it until it looks like your picture..... is this picture when you know you need to stop turning it for sure?

Turning is most important until the blood vessel network fills all the way around the egg. After that, it is much less critical, so you do not need to do any more turning (you mean like the daily turnings thru incubation, right?). I would go ahead and lay them on their sides, and the lowest side of the dip in the air cell should be up.
Some people wait until the air cell draws down like that picture before raising humidity. I have found that the draw down happens fairly shortly after I raise my humidity. But if dates are unknown, its safe to wait until draw down, or even internal pip, to raise humidity.
