ducks why do I have a PIP on DAY 25 ??????????

[newbiechickenowner]

WHY do I have a pip on day 25? I had an early hatcher in our last batch, pipped day 27 and hatched day 27, but, I don't normally have a pip this early. I had the top open and everything...not in lockdown, hadn't even cranked up the humidity! Do you think they will be OK? Is she going to get shrink-wrapped at this point? I am going to go into lockdown and increase humidity today (just did).....

It should be ok. It most likely was an older egg than the others and just started a bit earlier.
I have had them hatch day 24 to day 34. Dont worry to much just yet

It's an over-achiever and a drake.

Can anyone help me? I am new to the forum but am very concerned about my goose eggs. Mother goose died recently and was sitting on 8 eggs. I am down to 6 now. I have them in incubator, but two days ago I heard one peeping, and it was actually rolling around. Since then NOTHING. I am soooooo worried!!!!!!!!!! I have had them in the incubator for 24 days, but dont know how long she had them in the nest. She had just started laying them, and was not on the nest much. Any advise????????
