day 20 already pipping worried now

[KristyHall]

it is late day 20, and some of the chicks are pipping through, some are cheeping, some are rocking back and forth in their eggs. Should i be worried that they are hatching on day 20 and not day 21?
it's day 27 for one duck egg and the egg is pipping, should I worry?

sounds very normal to me. They can be a bit early or late...late on day 20 is nothing to worry about.

Don't worry about it. Sometimes they will come a few days early and sometimes they can be a few days late. Sounds like you are on track.

It's just fine. I just had one start pipping on day 19 at night and hatch out today on day 20. Three others also pipped and hatched out today

Its day 19 and some of mine are pipping too, but it is normal

oh good. I feel better. This is my first time without a broody. I always just put a broody by herself in a pen and let her work her magic. I never realized how nerve wracking it is to do it yourself. But wow the experience is amazing!

I've got 2 pips and I'm on the end of day 19

Days 18-21 should be fine

Mine pipped at 19 too! Hatched out early today on Day 20! They seem fine and dandy. Hope the rest make it out!

Good to everyone!
