Hatching incubator help please

Did you check for the internal pip?
If they don't make the external pip in 24-30 hours you will need to think about making a safety hole.

Take one egg to a closet.
Carry it very steady...do not shake it or twist it around.
In the closet hold the flashlight up against the air cell and look for this shadow:

Also pay attention to the air cell...see if it is this big yet.

I don't have but one closet. It has an extra large kennel w/ an 82lb foster dog in front of it. I will try a blanket. I candled once but saw no pip but did see movement. Should I raise temp 1 degree?
No pip yet. Air cell not that big but big. Ducks are alive. They are rocking the eggs. One rocked yesterday. Both today.

When you notice the air cell getting bigger...the "drawing down" then you should see the internal pip soon after.
I do not think that raising the temp one degree is going to do much at this point. It matters for the entire incubation period.
I do think that your humidity is TOO HIGH and that can be a problem, especially if it has been high throughout, you do not want to make it this far to have them drown in the shell.
Keep a close eye on them for the internal pips and make sure you watch the clock for when it happens.

Sweet. When did you notice the pip?

You will not do anything for the next 24 hours. Leave it be and let it absorb the yolk sack.
