Muscovy ducks egg hatching help!

[Washburn]

Hello all, now I've been incubating these eggs for the past month keeping temperature and humidity regulated. I've been flipping them and my incubator tilts them. But, it is now day 35 and I'm getting worried. They have been in "lockdown" for the past few days and while I have seen occasional movement I haven't seen any distinct external pipping. I had candled them prior and they looked healthy, and one had already pipped internally. Is there anything I could or should do to help? Should I even be worried yet?

I am not a hatcher, but I have seen them ask, "what temperature, and what humidity - are you using wet bulb or relative humidity?"

Apparently there is much confusion about humidity and new hatchers can keep the incubator too moist toward the end.

There are two or three Stickies on hatching - link at the top of the Duck Forum in blue letters.

Be patient they can take up to 37 days to hatch. They like to take their time. If your temp was a little low during incubation they may be delayed.
