I have 2 scovy eggs due the 4th or 5th and they internally pipped around Thursday or so and they still haven't hatched. Do ducks pip that early on or should I worry?

ETA: That these are being incubated under a broody hen.

Just because they internally pipped doesn't mean that they'll externally pip any time soon. My Scovy's internally pipped about 5 to 6 days before they hatched. I would stop turning them though. Just in case.

agree with that, also if they fully hatch early, your temp is too high, rule of thumb, every 1/2 degree off is a day early if too hot, day late if too cold,
