Thats called a staggered hatch and is highly not recommended with only one incubator. you always want to start all eggs at same time, or if hatching eggs that hatch at different times timing it so they will all hatch at same time. Not sure what kind of incubator/turner you have but not a good idea leaving in most turners as hatchlings can injure themselves. Other option you have is turning eggs by hand, but you still have to deal with hatching gunk/bacteria messing with other eggs among other things. It's just a major headache that doesn't usually turn out well. If I were you, I would try to get access to another incubator to hatch with.

So could I take them out and set them under the Turner ( taking the Turner out) and turn them my self??? Would that help

Turning them, yourself would be option if you only have 1 incubator. Not sure what you mean by setting under turner I would remove.

If you plan on incubating in the future set eggs as recommended above so all hatch at same time.

You do know duck eggs have a longer incubation time.

I would turn them at least 3 times per 24 hours.

There are many very good incubating/hatching instructional threads on here I would look them up and read them if I were you.
