Mallard Duck Eggs-Day 29

[codeman]

I am on day 29 and nothing....I have had the incubator at 100 (still air), humidity 55%-65% days 1-25 and now 75%. They were turned with an automatic turner and taken out on the correct day. I am alittle worried.....I know I am not supposed to open the incubator but I want to candle them to see if any are alive????? Should I worry yet?


Thank you

A week ago I was on day 29 with my Welsh Harlequin eggs, and nothing was happening, but one hatched on Monday. Do mallards normally take 28 days or 26? If it's 28 I'd definitely give them more time. If it's 26, still probably give them another day or 2.
