Hi

wow what a rollercoaster hatching is! One egg at 25 days I’m not sure has made it and two eggs at day 24 that I think have pipped! Can anyone confirm for me please?

I hear chirping too! Mallard Ducks, incubated from 19th/20th May.

Yes, internally pipped.

Yes, internally pipped.

Hurrah!! How long can I expect before these two hatch now? Is is ok if they’ve pipped at day24 or could it cause problems?

I don’t think I can sleep I’m so excited!
Thank you!

They take next to forever. 24+ hours for external pip and then another 24-48 hours for zip. Ducklings take a lot of patience.
