This is my first time hatching. I am incubating 9 Ancona Duck eggs. I have a still-air incubator, which I'm familiar with now, after practicing for a week. They just set today.

That 2 out of the 3 still have decent air cells.
But didn't really see movement.
Late hatchers maybe?
Im gonna leave them in there I think.
