Good, then you will only have to worry about the difference when you get to lockdown for the newer eggs and although I have not hatched ducks, I know there is about a 5 days difference in the incubation time. Not sure how to tell you to deal with the humidity then but I expect folks will have some expertise to help you.

actually most ducks are 7 days longer incubation than most chickens. 28 days for mallard derived ducks. Call ducks are only usually 26 days.
