Storey's Guide says
for the last week, in a still air machine temperature of 103F.
The last three days of incubation the relative humidity should be increased to approximately 75 percent, or 92 to 94F on the wet-bulb thermometer.
You wrote the little was breathing - there is some kind of hole so that the duckling is getting enough air, yes? The Guide says ventilation demands increase at hatching time. So enough fresh air, is what I am reading.
There is contact information on this page - http://www.lwbarnhouse.com/method1.html
Please take a look.
Another hatching thread - in this one, the duckling was shrink wrapped from low humidity.
