I'm on day 23 almost 24 of Ancona duck eggs. Just looked at them two are moving alot. When I first got them. I had in older incubator temp was not consistent. So maybe early? I have the turner in. Should I get the turner out and humidity up now? I'd appreciate any help this is my first time. Thanks!!!! Here is video of one I was worried about had large air cell bottom half kinda looks like it's a little In the air cell. This one was not moving

I couldn't get it super clear I have not pulled them out. Two of the eggs are shaking alot. One egg which is now turned looks like something small is in air cell up against shell. Would take the turner out and raise humidity with two moving like this. Thanks I appreciate any help.

That sounds like an internal pip and the other two may be getting ready too. I would remove the turner myself to ensure the safety of the ducklings at hatch. Besides, turning is vital primarily at the beginning stages of development. What is your humidity now?

Humidity is at 54% Im getting it out should I put the humidity to about 70%

I personally wouldn't go quite that high yet, I'd aim for 60-65 at the highest at least until an external pip. Humidity will raise itself once hatching begins. 5 days early...wow. Your temp must have fluctuated quite a bit

Usually ducks take 28 days

OK thanks for your help. I was using a old hovabator. I woke up and the temp was up there my husband went out and got new one. This one seemed pretty consistent since. Is it normal or them to start shaking this early?

I've only incubated ducks once but I did see shaking at day 24 and my temps were stable. They didn't hatch until day 27-28 however. But if you have an internal pip you should have a duckling within 48 hours!! Congratulations
