Looks like you already have pretty good traction in the incubator, just turn the eggs onto their sides and get the humidity back up to around 70%.

i just realized a few of the eggs are pipping on the side of the egg and not where their air sak is. I will take a picture and send it in a few minutes.

What kind of eggs are these? Calls? Not much you can do if they are pipping out the side, they'll take a lot longer since they internally/externally pipped at the same time, so I'd wait a good 72 hours before I would even start to assist.

They are Rouen. There are only 2 eggs I’m concerned about. The first picture is where the duck pipped on the side of the egg. She was the second one to pip on day 25 ( yesterday) she was moving around yesterday until about noon but I haven’t seen any movement since. Do you think she is dead? The second picture is where the egg is pipping down. You can see a little of the shell that broke off. I haven’t seen any movement in that one either since yesterday. That one has always been strange when I candles it. It looked like there was 2 of them. It was so full and it was dark red. I could see more black dots moving than in the other eggs.

One of the eggs is dead:( when I moved it her beak was stuck and she was dead:(
The other egg that was facing down is so strange. I tried to send you a video but it wouldn’t let me. There’s a hole without any cracks around it and you can see her and her. The hole looks burnt. It’s very strange. I will attach a picture. I’m not sure if I should help her or not. It definitely looks really strange..

Which one died, sometimes when they pip on the opposite side of the egg they accidentally break a vein and bleed to death, are you sure she is dead, they rest a lot before hatching? The other eggs I would leave for a good while before I would start to assist.
