Duck egg help! I'm so nervous.

Date sort Score sort
Up to 5 internally pipped, one who externally pipped and the other 8 are all moving in there but no for sure internal pip yet. 1 is moving very faintly and hasn't made much progress so I'm not sure if it's going to make it. And another one is moving a lot but the top of the egg looks different than the others it's a lot of red veins and kind of creamy clear and red above the air sack..not dark like the others. Not sure what's going on there.

It could just be a bit further behind, or it could be backwards. It’s great they are progressing!
 
Woke up this morning to 8 externally pipped but one pipped on the wrong end, and the membrane looks like a mustard yellow color. None of them it looks like have actually made it through the membrane of the shell yet. Should I raise the humidity? It says it's at 72
 
Is the 72 a reading on your incubator? Under the circumstances I would guess it is not accurate. Is there any condensation? There shouldn't be, but trying to get some clues to what the humidity really is. In your situation I think I would raise it some.
 
There is condensation around the top ring of my incubator the incubator is reading 68 but the one I have inside on the ground by the eggs says 76. I hope this isn't bad but I took a long skewer and taped a q-tip to the end of it and just moistened it with warm water and stuck it through the air hole on my machine and just rubbed the spot a bit to hopefully soften it up.
 
I’ve noticed that my backwards ducklings often end up with dried looking yellowish membrane even though my humidity is good. I think it’s because of the shape of the egg they somehow knock more shell off at the wrong end of the egg. They have always been fine. Some need minimal assistance
