I’m new.... so if anyone has differing opinions then follow theirs.
But from what I’ve learned so far the humidity sounds spot on to me. The temperature should be 37.5C for ducklings so you might need to try to warm it a little more.

Usually humidity is around 55% until duckling starts hatching and then you up the humidity.

What do I do if the air pocket seem too small? It looks like a day 1 air pocket, and I've the egg for 1 week, and I know it's been laid at least 4 days before I had it
