I thought my babies were coming early too. I could see them in their air cells on monday and they were due til saturday...i had pips early on wednesday...and 3 babies hatched on today. I still have 3 babies that are pipped. one has a small hole that hes been working on all day...literally for the last 24 hours. But he is making progress...SLOW...but progress. and the other two babies are still alive, but havent dont much since they did the dome pip. Im expecting maybe one baby tomorrow and the other two on saturday...right on time. IT seems like this has been the longest week ever...its not like they have help in nature...and there are plenty of wild pond ducks out there...so im at a total of 36 hours now...and only 3 of my 6 pips have hatched...they will come if they are ready i guess...
