Hi again! One of my 4 duck eggs internally piped, the 3 others have not yet. What should I do? 😩

PLEASE HELP!!
Hello to all!

Thank you so much for your previous help!
One of my 4 duck eggs just internally piped but the other ones have not yet. What do I do? Should I put them all into lockdown now?
I can’t stop my incubator from turning the eggs, it’s a Janoel 12. The directions are awful and I don’t know how to remove the turning mechanism.
Also, what’s the difference between a “wet bulb” humidity thermometer and a regular one?
I’ll send a pic of mine.
I’m such a wreck because I know I should not turn the eggs anymore or open the incubator during lockdown, but how will I know when the other 3 hatch?
I lowered the temperature to 37.2 c. and the humidity is 75. But I don’t know what kind of humidity reader I have.
I’m really confused because this is such a delicate time!
Second photo is not very good because he is moving so much in the air sac that I couldn’t get a clear photo.

Kindly,
Amy

It wont hurt them if you stop turning a few days early.

Thank you!
I know the humidity has to be at 75, but I can’t get it lower then 83!
I put them in lockdown even though only one internally piped. Is this ok?
Do you have any ideas on how I can get my humidity down?

I wouldn't stress too much about your humidity right now.

Humidity is controlled mostly by the surface area of water you have in your incubator.
Smaller surface area = less humidity
Bigger surface area = higher humidity

Is there any way you can lessen the surface area of water in your incubator?

Unfortunately not.

Bother.... you might just have to wait it out and see how it goes
