tomorrow is the hatch day for my duck eggs. i know it can take them awhile to hatch, but this is my first time and im really nervous. i want to know what i should be expecting, looking for, and doing. any tips are appreciated! and i might post pictures if all goes well.
 
You should first be able to hear them peeping. After that (approx. 24 hours) you should see a small hole in the shell.

That is the external pip. The duckling will then rest for a day or so, and then will start to work it's way around the shell
 
will i be able to hear the peeping from outside the incubator? or will it be very quiet?
