Duck eggs wiggling day 23 ?

[Stoneymama]

Hello ,I have 3 khaki campbell duck eggs incubating on day 23, 1 egg looks like it may be twins, appears to have two slightly smaller embryos inside and two air cells iv seen twins Start befor but never make it this far can't wait to see what happens unfortionatly I wasn't able to get any candling photos.These eggs were shipped and had detached aircells so have been incubating in a upright position hand turned 4 times a day, my new incubator has been running a lil warm at between 101 and 102 degrees with 55-60% humidity. When candling last night I felt movement in two of the eggs so I took them all out of the upright position to settle for starting to hatch ,I didn't expect to see them rocking like they are and I am wondering if I may end up with a early hatch,if so how early and would they be ok ? I've never incubated this warm befor and dont really know when to expect hatching to start . Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated

Incubating at higher temps will definitely cause an early hatch. Stopping turning now should be just fine but as far as when to expect them to hatch specifically, I can't really say other than agreeing that you're correct in anticipating an early hatch. Fingers crossed your hat h goes well! Especially the twins! It's possible for them to hatch but they have poor hatch rates so don't get too attached to that egg just in case.

I’ve got day 21 duck wigglers (pekin/Rouen mixes). This is my 1st time incubating. I can also see shadowing in the air cells. Hope for a successful hatch for you (and me), but I’m hoping they wait a little longer.

Thankyou ,I'm hoping they hatch I noticed the "twin egg"started wiggling yesterday as well ,I didn't expect that egg to even make it this far ,I am shocked,but understand low twin hatch rate I put them into lockdown yesterday when i noticed all 3 wiggling, one of them has turned completely horizontal to the others lol

Wiggling can start days before hatching, when you see a lot of wiggles it's often when they're rotating to get in position for hatching.
