Duck eggs in incubator

[Pyxis]

How long does it usually take for them to hatch through once externally pipped and since they have externally pipped some of the shell is cracked but the membrane is in complete contact should i spray the eggs with water.

No need to spray them. It takes awhile sometimes, ducks are slow hatchers. It can be 24 - 48 hours before they hatch from external pip.

I'm fixing to leave for work. I'll check the progress when I get home if I see no changes I'll give them a safety hole.

Update I'm at work my husband called and told me my eggs are moving around and making noises.. What does this mean ?

 

[clglen]

The eggs are rolling around does that mean they are struggling ?

 

[Pyxis]

No, that means they're working on getting into position to hatch. Just let them be for now, I wouldn't be surprised if you had some hatched by morning.

I believe I have a beak poking out and I have a break In the other egg I can see the baby duck.

Is there anything I need to know. Now that she has hatched I have left her in to dry and I'm going to get her some electrolytes when she is able to come out.
