Help with hatching muscovy eggs??

[muscovy14312]

my last batch of muscovy eggs only 10 out of 24 hatched. I have a batch of 13 in the incubator on day 18 right now. They are all alive at the moment. They were all alive at this stage with the group of 24 also. What could I have done wrong and could maybe do now to have more hatch?

Are these your own eggs or were they shipped? What humidity are you keeping?

I have not hatched duck egg in a bator - I let my ducks do it - but have read that they need to be cooled and possibly misted.
