Oops. Thought I did. Let’s try again.

What kind of ducks are these?

Middle looks like either a Mallard or a Rouen, but the OP already knows that. Not sure on the other two, sorry.

Let your incubator be. It's not best to open it when on lock down. You can cause your egg to shrink wrap. Whats your humidity at?
The first one looks to be a mix. Second is a mallard or rouen, last looks to be blue Swedish

Leave it alone.
(for now)

Humidity is 74% and temp is 100–slightly warm.

I hear chirping and consistent tapping now !!

Don’t see much more external progress yet.

Temp and humidity are great!
You are on your way. The tapping is the duckling working on zipping the shell.
The air hole is a great opening for air and the baby is absorbing the yolk.
Sit on your hands Mom! Talk to you baby to encourage him/her when it is active.
This is like labor, it will take a while. Some pop sooner than others.

My grandmother would sit next to her girls reading the paper when they were in labor and offer encouragement along the way. She did this for her granddaughters too. She kept everyone calm like it was no big deal. She always took the baby from the nurse and handed the "nugget" to the new mom too.

Thanks so much. I’ve been heckling the baby throughout the night and thankfully the temp and humidity have stayed very stable.

Our family has been talking to him and giving him lots of cheering on. Our son played him some mallard sounds and when he responded mybsom decided that he must be a mallard. Haha

Good news is I can hear the baby chirping.

Tough to see because of condensation but I don’t see any progress yet.

So that bitty external pip can provide air for the sweet baby?

Hi. Humidity looks good but temp is 97.

Do I need to warm up the incubator a bit?

I think they tiny pip hole on top of the leg may have a tiny bit of progress.

Just heard chirps and tapping.
