Muscovy duck egg in incubator: turning or tilting? What about weight loss of the eggs?

Dear muscovy duck owners,
after several successful batches of chickens, I will try to hatch muscovy ducks.
However, I am not sure if I can put them in the automatic egg turner which only tilts the eggs 45 degrees or so. Does this work with muscovy duck eggs?

And so far a have not found anything on the weight loss of the duck eggs: what percentage of their initial weight should they loose until hatching day (day 34)?

Thanks

I was wondering the same thing! I'm at day ten but forgot to weigh them when I put them in so I figured next clutch I'll figure it out 😔 #following also my first time incubating muscovys

Yeah, my eggs are coming in on sunday, it would be so much easier if I can just tilt them. Anyone hatched muscovies by just tilting the eggs?
 
So I candled my 10 eggs last night and every one of them has veins and do not seem to have any problems with my "automatic turner *tilter lol Are there issues I should look out for when they start piping?
