New member in need of help with found duck egg

Date sort Score sort
Can someone tell me when should this little guy should move his head toward the air cell and is there a way I should position the egg to make sure he goes that way?
 
So today is day 21 and lock down is approaching my little duckling is doing great and is in position with his head under his wings the egg is getting heavier and all looks well. I want to put together my brooder box anyone have any good ideas for this? Can I use a large Rubbermaid tub? Can I use a regular light bulb as I did for incubation? What temp should it be to keep my duckling warm? And advise as in how to do this? And how long do I have to keep the duckling in there?
 
Today is day 25 and it's lock down temp 95.7 humidity 71 % I am like a nervous mother duck checking every few minutes to see if anything is going on can't wait to meet this little duckling :)
 
Give it more time. Ducklings (and chicks) don't keep schedules like we humans do. It will get going when it feels really to hatch. I know, it's nerve wrecking! Hopefully it will not take too much longer.
 
X2 Patience, 28 days is just an average and if your incubator was running a little cool that will affect the hatch time also. Don't remember seeing it, but do you know what kind of duck egg it is?
