We're not sure yet, why?

Locally

Because hatching shipped eggs can be difficult. Quite often, the air cells get detached or loose, and that changes how you start them.

Okay, no worries then.

I thought you were supposed to cool them off and spray with water? Do you? I'm so confused

Are you in a low humidity state/place? Tennessee is a humid place, so misting is not needed. I treat the duck eggs the same as chicken eggs and have never had bad results. You will find many people saying many things on how to incubate and probably most are right for WHERE THEY LIVE. So no, I do not spray or cool; never found a need to. If possible compare your area with TN as what I do may not be right for you. Your best bet is to find an experience local and copy what they do.

it's best not to do this, in my opinion
Spraying is fine, but I only did that towards the end of incubation and up until lockdown! It isnt really necessary.
