Muscovy Duck eggs day 35 nothing happening!

Hi
My eggs went In The incubator on 31st March.
I’m worrying because my eggs aren’t doing anything... there are six.
I went on Internet today & panicked and candled them today- I saw movement on three. Then I read about lockdown and realised I shouldn’t have touched them!
they all seem to be in the side/pointy end of the egg and the egg sacs are big.
my incubator is at 37.5 degrees and I topped it up with extra water.
Now I feel so bad that I didn’t keep it closed!!
Do they hatch after 35 days? I hope I’ve not killed them. Please be kind

Just googled this same question. Mine are in day 35 and there is movement but none hatching yet. Just curious if yours did hatch?

Muscovies often take longer than 35 days. My incubator directions actually list them at 37 days. Keep your humidity at about 65 percent (higher makes muscovies sticky) for hatch and be patient. Good luck. To the op sorry no one responded when you needed them.

Hey yes they hatched! Two out of the six eggs. Fingers crossed that yours did too xxx
