Urgent. Rotator stopped early

[ljg]

Hello! my ducks are in the incubator, it's day 26. My rotator stopped on day 18. Will I still have a good chance of my ducklings hatching?

-I also just changed my temp on my Harris Farms nature right 360 incubator from 99.5 to 98.5 but it went straight to 97.5 is this normal incubator behavior?

These ducklings are so important to me! They are from my 2 pet ducks that are 2 years old. My male was taken by a predator the day she started laying on her eggs which is what I think saved her life. He was her protector. Any advice is appreciated. This is my first experience with incubating eggs in general.

Did you not hand turn them after the rotator went out?

I had it set on chicken so I didnt know until day 25

What happened?

Turning is more critical in the early stages of incubation, with a bit of luck your eggs will be OK.

2x.

Heck I didn't notice my quail eggs shipped from the eastern side of the country had missed the first week and I still got 1/3 to hatch. They're tough little critters, chickens and other poultry
