On incubating Indian runners what should the temp and humidity be set at on a forced air incubator from 1-24 day and day 25-28 1/2

Amiga may be able to help if you haven't been already.

Does anyone keep their ducks inside when it gets below freezing, or should they be okay?

When I incubate my ducks eggs I do 99.5° and humidity around 40-45 depending on how air cells look. For lockdown same temp and boost humidity to 60-65. I also run forced air. Mallard, pekins, KCs...

My ducks love it outside in thr winter. I open the door and they go in and out as they please.

Good luck! Are you just starting a hatch? How many eggs?

Yes, day 20, Indian runners, they are small eggs they look like the size of chicken eggs, the pair of Indian runners my daughter in law has, these were the first time ever that she laid. They are not big like a normal duck egg. Are they suppose to be this size and if not I hope they will develop OK. I have six of them, one of the eggs are bigger than the others.
