Duckling has pipped in two spots.

First time hatching duck eggs, second round of hatching eggs. Why has the duckling pipped in two spots? I have them in a cooler to hatch. I had 11 eggs in and than added 20 eggs a week later so I had to come up with a hatcher. The cooler is driving me batty trying to keep the humidity and temp at the right temp, lol. I'm happy the 20 eggs will hatch in the incubator, it's so much easier regulating everything.

Maybe if they can pull out the vent plug it will let out the condensation?...

coolers dont have vent plugs, you have to drill holes
if it is 63 its fine
but something tells me its higher because of the condensation on the viewing window

its also raised because of the pip and the wet duckling inside

the vent is also very important because they need more oxygen, thats why you remove the vent plug on styros at d7-10ish
