[Rainstorm]

I heard some chirping and looked in the bator to find 2 eggs rocking back and forth with pips, their not due till the 2nd to hatch. lockdown on friday night. Is this safe?? humidity was at 38% was gonna leave it till friday then bump it up, I put some more water in there now that I found em, Will they be ok??

i'd say bump the humidity now.. my aunt says she even sprays duck eggs with a water bottle....
and let them go at it.. they know when they're ready....
and not like you can stop them??

It can take 1-3 days for them to completely hatch from the time you see a pip. They may seem a bit early, but they may hatch right on time.

How are they doing?

I've had duck eggs pip on day 25 and hatch on day 26 with no problems. They were incubating in a Sportsman along with chicken eggs that hatched out right on time. Of the 5 - 6 batches of duck eggs I incubated this summer, they all pipped and hatched a couple of days early.

Good luck with your duckies... hope you'll post pics!

They both decided to quit and go to sleep lastnight, then about a hour ago one started pipping a lil more so his crack is bit bigger now and taking another break obviously, The other however I havnt seen no more movement of the egg or anything or anymore pips, should he be ok? I took them out of the turner to. was that ok? is it normal for them to take so long and not do much at a time?
