Did you calibrate your thermometer prior to incubating ? If incubated at a lower temperature, incubation period will be increased.

I bought it and it was set at 37 and I changed it to 37.5 so I think so

Sometimes the readings on the incubator are off by a bit so it is always good to make sure that they are reading accurately.

Do you think they will hatch?

do you still think they will hatch? If so do you think day 30?

If you candled and they were viable, I think there is a good chance they will hatch.

I have candled and some are very dark but no movement

At the late stages of development, movement is hard to see since basically the entire egg is filled with duckling.

Keep in mind ducks are 28 day foul.
