First time hatching duck eggs and one has a very small crack that appeared about 45 hours ago. It’s a tiny crack and not protruding at all. I thought that might have been the pip but today (about 8hours ago) it pipped in another location.. so do I count that fist little crack as the pip?? Or do I start counting now from the time of the larger pip? OR is it starting to zip?
 
Could the initial small crack have been a weak part in the egg as it turned into position? My personal thought and if it were my egg I would on a time frame be using the “second“ pip which is more pronounced. Zipping tends to happen from the pip but then again nature has its ways. I would try not to be worried as it has a pip and can get oxygen. I’m a let nature take its course kind of hatcher. Good luck!
