My duck hatched 10/10 healthy ducklings, but she had peafowl eggs that were gonna hatch a day or two later in there too, so I really hoped that replacing the hatching duck eggs with fake eggs to try and keep her sitting an extra day or so, then she started leaving the nest every 20-40 minutes the next day so I felt it was best to put the eggs in the incubator for now.
I'm worried they aren't alive, they were warm and you could feel a different between them and one of the eggs (One is dead or wasnt fertile from when we candled a while back.) but they aren't yet moving or rocking in the shell (or chirping) and this is my first time hatching peachicks. So advice please! :D
I'm just scared they are dead or couldve died

The temps may have dropped so much by the duck getting off the eggs so often they never got back to the 99 degree range again. Once your broody duck hatched out all 10 of hers they were more important than waiting 2 more days on the pea eggs.
 
She never hatched her eggs though, they were swapped for fakes and hatched indoors since they were hatched for friends and in hope that she would've continued sitting. They seemed warm enough, hoping they are alive still, I guess I just gotta wait til hatching day in the incubator.
