Is this internal pipping?

[Palmtiger]

Need to confirm if this is internal pipping? Please see attached video. We are at day 31 of 35 for Muscovy ducklings. Over the last 2 days, We have observed the air cell dip and the eggs rocking the slightest bit. No chirps however. Over the last 3 hours, The air cell has moved more, The lines you see on the eggs were made 3 hours ago.

If this is indeed an internal pip then how much air do they have before they run out and I need to put a safety hole in?

Also the eggs have lost 2 grams of weight more than they should've and have a bit of a larger air cell which isn't too bad but considering this, Where should I put the humidity for lockdown? Based on what you see, Should I lockdown now?

update: Couldve swore I heard a couple peeps once I carefully and very quickly inspected the bottom of the egg. At this point I am locking them down for the most part. I still have no idea if this is internal pipping and I wish I could know for sure so I can start a countdown. The shadow of the baby is rising above the bottom outline of the pencil drawn aircell and the aircell is moving up over the egg.

I just see a smooth outline of the baby instead of a triangle like shape which is making me question what this is. Im really afriad its malpositioned.

Here is a quick bad graphic of what I am concerned with. (See the one circled in black)

I've hatched pekins but never muscovies, and I understand they are incubated/hatched slightly differently.

In this article about hatching Muscovy eggs, scroll down to the Hatching section.

This is an assisted hatch tutorial for all poultry, should you need it, and ducks are covered, as well as safety holes.

Wishing you a great hatch!
