I'm going to bed now. As it stands 12 of the 15 have hatched and one more has pipped internally. The other 2 are silent so far. As is the egg that I added two days after the hatch began, but I am not surprised by that. My best guess is that we will have at least one more by morning and one more in a day or two. If that happens it will be my best hatch so far.
This is my third hatch. The first I hatched 1 of 13. The 2nd I hatched 13 of 16.
Edit: There is a slight error in this post. I had assumed that the egg I added two days late had not yet hatched at the time of this post. Turn out I was wrong.

The one that pipped this morning did arrive. So I have a total count of 13
12 of the original 15 plus the egg I added which makes 13 of 16. I am thinking the EE hatch is done though I will keep it going for a while to see if the duck egg is going to hatch.
Here are the collection dates for the eggs that did not hatch. (at least so far)
5/7 15 days before I set the eggs
5/13 9 days
5/16 6 days

Well that is pretty cool!
How did you store the eggs prior to incubating them?

I was looking over the data today...
5/7 15 days before I set the eggs
5/13 9 days
5/16 6 days
...and realized something very cool. If I remove the 15 day old egg from the data
Of the eggs that were less than 7 days old, I hatched 6 of 7
Of the eggs that were 7 to 14 days old, I hatched 6 0f 7
