I have khaki Campbell duck eggs Iam on day 22 but day 21 they started moving around a lot so have put them in lockdown now I’m not getting nothing no pip no movement

Duck eggs usually take 28 days to hatch.
Chicken eggs usually take 21 days.

So either they need another week, or they are not duck eggs, or there's something really odd going on here.

Lockdown isn't meant to be until day 25 for duck eggs (ready for hatch on about day 28), so I assume you saw the eggs rocking and put them into lockdown?
Do you have a calibrated thermometer in the incubator? What is the temp reading?
Day 21 is really early for lockdown and I would be worried about humidity. I would not raise the humidity until you get an internal pip.

I think more than likely these eggs arent ready for lockdown yet. I would continue incubation as normal until day 25 and then lock them down.

Yes I have a thermometer in there I haven’t raised the humidity that is still 55 and my temperature is 37.5 I have just taken out the turn bars and left them on the rubber mat

is the thermometer calibrated or is it the one thats built into the incubator?

Calibrated I have one on incubator and one inside

I have had duck eggs rocking around on day 21 with quite a few of my hatches. I locked them down that early once but they still didn't hatch until five or six days later. In my experience duck eggs can take the better part of a week to get from what looks like an internal pip to final hatch. So I would guess yours might hatch a day or two early.

Ok brilliant thank you

 

[Cathie02]

Do you recommend I keep turning them

It shouldn't hurt them to stop now, but it would probably be better to wait until you see an internal pip if there isn't one already.
