My duck eggs hatching early!?!? Did I do something wrong?

[Teacherchick18]

1 and 3 look good and ready. 12% and 17%. #2 is less than 8% weight lost. Those are some odd ranging numbers! Could that be one of the muscovies? The tilt of the air cell is normal. Could you see any internal pips?
I would move #1 & #3 to the hatcher.

Thanks! Yeah I thought maybe the middle one might be a Muscovy since it was so much smaller than the other 2. I'll go ahead an move them to the hatcher then and hopefully I will have some ducks in a couple days. It didn't look like there were any internal pips. I will look more closely when I move them over. I hope they are still good because I couldn't see any movement in the egg really.

One looks good but two is sticky and three is sticky. I would raise that humidity up to about 70-75 to help two and three.

They have not internally pipped but one has definitely dipped pretty good.. Two is stuggling. Three hasn't dipped enough but he's slightly sticky he'll need an extra day.

Can you get into a closet and re-candle them. Candle them from both ends the smaller end and the top. Need a darker room in order to confirm. The sticky gooy stuff inside.

Ok. Does anyone know if quail eggs require the same humidity as everyone else? I had one hatch out of 14. Only one other pipped internally. Humidity was at 60%
