Still no ducklings!!

[Farm life101]

hello all,
I am incubating 2 duck eggs, one is either a runner or a khaki Campell and the other is a Swedish blue. It’s been 30 days and there is no chirping or piping. The temp is at 99 and the humidity is at 65-66 and it has been this way for the past 5 days. Also I stopped turning them 5 days ago as 2 days ago was there hatch date. They will move in the egg if I take them out of the warmth. Why aren’t that hatching? Also this is my first time using an incubator as I usually put eggs under a broody hen and this is also my first time hatching duck eggs.

Isn’t 99 a little low? But I don’t hatch unless a broody so maybe @WVduckchick or @Pyxis can answer your questions.

 

[chickens really]

Did you Candle the eggs at all?

 

[Pyxis]

99 is a bit low, so that could cause a late hatch. Is your incubator still air or forced air?

 

[Miss Lydia]

You say they move in the egg if you take them out of the bator so they are alive just maybe a little off on hatch day? Can you candle and take a pic of what your seeing? @Farm life101
