Duck eggs hatching help! Double pip??

[Craycraychickenlay]

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?

Are the 2 next to or near each other?

No. One on each side of the egg. Both on the wider end and almost directed across from each other

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!

Thanks for your help. It may have been a weak spot
