I'm sorry.
Have you calibrated your incubator, just to make sure it's correct?

Yes you can post pics and we can try to help you date as close as possible
On day 10- lockdown
I cool the eggs once a day and mist them with warm water
This helps to soften the shell for babies to hatch
Mom duck goes for a swim then lays on her eggs with a slight wet belly
I watched my mom duck do this

Egg one I used my thumb to block the ligh egg two I used my flat hand

I would guess around 2 weeks give or take
Because you don’t know exact days just candle daily and lockdown when you see the shadows pushing in the air cell.
You cab start the cool down and misting as well
Stop once you see shadowing
Hope this helps

When they are close to hatch you will see a shadow Of baby moving along the air cell
Baby usually pushes up against it a day or two before the internal pip
It’s also when the air cell drops down on one side
That’s the side you will place facing up for hatch
