Hi everyone! So it is my first time hatching duck eggs, I have two of them, one was put in a say before the other. It is day 27 and I hear no piping and I candled them and they haven't broken through the air sack. They both look extremely healthy when I candled and the one that is younger seems to be more developed/bigger than the other one. They both have movement and veins. The temperature dropped a little (to 97°) this morning but I quickly got it back up and to 99°-100° range. The humidity has been pretty consistent the whole time they have been incubated (at 45-55) and I raised the humidity to the 65 range when i put it on lock down the past two days. Anyway, after the long explanation haha, is this okay? I've read thay they start piping around day 25-26, they're smaller eggs so I'm guessing they came from one of my smaller birds, but the only ones I have laying are pekin and khaki campbell ducks.
 
Don't worry. They can fool you a bit. I've had external pips at 26 days up to 30 days. Just watch for them to internally pip. You will see their little bills pushing against the membrane to try to get through. If your temps been a little low at times it can take them longer.
