Runner duck hatch problems

Oh good I was worried it was struggling or something!! This is the furthest I've ever got with incubating ducks I'm a nervous wreck lol. I know they take longer than chicks so I'll just leave it to do it's thing unless it seems distressed etc.
 
Have 3 external pips one hasn't moved since so maybe it's sleeping. The other two are really wriggling about one has made the pip hole abit bigger but that's about it. Going to keep a close eye on the one that hasn't moved because staring at it I can't even see it breathing! Think the other two may come out tomorrow if all goes well
 
Does anyone know if ducks hatch quick? I have two half out the shell still absorbing the last bit of yolk and one with his head fully out!!! I thought ducks took days

Oh no! They pip, sit awhile (like 24 hours) and unzip before you get to see! They are Fast! You might check on one that looks like it isn't doing anything, an hour later you'll look in and there will be a duckling! They are very fast when they decide to unzip, it just takes awhile after the pip for them to do it.

Well I now have four out well 3 nearly all out just absorbing the yolk and one with its head out!! It hasn't even been 24 hours lol. I noticed liquid coming out when one popped it's out it had like bubbles coming out of its beak and nostrils. A lot of liquid aswell do you think the humidity may of done this?

I honestly do not know. Just a second and I will ask the people on the educational hatch along.

She asked me this, but I am not sure, so I'd like your opinions.
humidity is/was too high. What is humidity reading?

Well for the first 25 days it was in the 50s then I put them in the hatcher which is at 67. They all still have their yolks etc no blood just liquid!! First time hatching ducks think it'll be the last time aswell to much stress with ducks lol cute though!
