Duck has pipped externally but no more progress in over 12 hrs

[Piglet1379]

New here. I have a duck that externally pipped yesterday morning and last night it was bigger but no progress in over 12 hrs I’m worrried about it. First picture is the current progress as if 9 pm last night.

Not sire if it is the same as chickens eggs. But for my (chicken) eggs, it usually took about 16 hours-ish to 20 hours. If nothing happens after 40+ hours, you will need to assist it.

It takes ducklings so long to hatch they are slow pokes. Can you hear the duckling peeping and see anything going on with the pip?

Ducklings can take a long time to hatch, I wouldn't start worrying. I'll bet you'll see some action today or tonight. Since it's externally pipped it should be in the right position and have air so it's probably resting. Hatching is hard work!

Ducklings love to give us stress while hatching
After external pip it can take 24-48 hours to get out
Can you whistle or tap on the incubator and get baby to chirp or wiggle ?
What is your humidity at and what was it during incubation

12 hours is too early to start intervening. Like others have said it can take 48 hours. Let em do their thing! I think a lot of times people get impatient and help too early and the duck suffers because of it. Keep us updated on its progress and we can help!

I haven’t heard this one peep or move since. Which is what has me worried about it.

we did the dry hatching due to being in sc and very humid. Keep it between 20-30 then on the last 3 days upped it. It’s not getting out of the 60’s.

What was your air cells like ? We’re they right on par or a bit small ?
If an air cell is on the smaller side baby may external pip faster as it runs out of air but will need the same amount of time to absorb
If the air cell is bigger then it should be they tend to take longer to external pip as they have more air
20/30 is pretty low but as long as air cells were good
Is that your only egg or do you have others either hatched or pipped ?

It’s not chirping or wiggling. I have another one beside it that has tried to pip externally and it’s chirping and I’m watching that one. I also have 2 more that hasn’t pipped internal or external yet so I’m kinda waiting them out bc there was movement in all 4 eggs when I put it on lockdown.

air cells got bigger before it pipped. I have 4 eggs in there all together and another one is starting to pip it actually has 2 spots now since I took this pic

Update it was shrink wrapped . But on a positive note I did make the safety air hole for the second duck since it’s been almost 24 hrs and it didn’t make it completely through the shell and it’s peeping and moving.
The air pocket on the other 2 eggs have gotten bigger as well so waiting on them to pip.
