Help bad egg in lockdown

[Mooretaste]

Help my duck eggs are in lockdown and 3 are pipping, no idea how successfully.
I have noticed that another egg that was wobbling this morning has started to turn grey and from reading other posts I believe this means it"s dead.
Should I remove it? I'm terrified to open the incubator and I don't know if a bad egg can effect the rest of the batch.

I would quickly remove it...just my humble opinion. Bad eggs can explode sometimes and you don't want that mess during your hatch.

So I boosted the humidy with hot water for the benefit of the other eggs pulled it out quick smart and candled it.
It's still alive in there. Has been wobbling for days but has stopprd. It hasn't internally pipped but miracle of miracles it's alive. So I've put it back to give it a go.

Good news! Good luck with your hatch!!!

I sure will. Super excited, 2 cicks that pipped are chirping away and another that I was worried about has started wobbling to the music, still no internal pip that I can see but definitely alive.
For all my fear about humidity I decided to check the room humidity and it's the same as the incubator!!
