Help! Air cell’s too small but duckling’s still Alive trying to pip!

That egg might be turning bad but I still see veins so leave it in the incubator and see what happens. Be sure to keep an eye on it though and if it doesn't start to develop you'll need to get it out so it doesn't explode in the incubator.
If it’s not the egg turning bad could it be an internal bleed of some sort? And how many days should I give it? I usually check the eggs every other day when I top up the water because I don’t want to take the eggs out too much and cause any potential problems

just keep checking it every day and see what it looks like. It may start to look like the rest or it may be a dud. Time will tell
 
you'll know one way or the other if he's growing or has stopped.

This is the egg today, I can see rocking and movement inside, does that mean the duckling is still alive? And there’s a dark line now where the black spot was.

The first photo looked somewhat suspicious, but the second photo looks just fine! Do you mean the embryo? They do tend to have a rocking motion, you tend to see two darker blobs, rocking and drawing close, then stretching out-it's an odd sort of movement.

my guess is that it was a small clot type structure of blood- which seems to have now stretched out oddly! Either way, I think the duckling is fine.
