Egg rolling around 6 days early?

[Blooming chicks]

I have one egg out of 7 that is rolling around the incubator--hatch day is not for 6 more days? Is it possible it is an early hatch?

It probably wont hatch soon but ive heard of day 16,17,18,19 day hatches, ive gotten day 18 and 19 so you never know !

hmmmm.... that's odd. i suppose it's possible... send out an update when it hatches, i'm curious now.

I forgot to add, they are ducks...and there are 4 eggs rocking and rolling around! Should I up the humidity and put them in lockdown?

No i would leave it as scheduled. But now that you say duck eggs, up not sure if early hatches are common.

Thanks USSChicago, I'll ask the question in the duck section--maybe someone that is very familiar with hatching ducks can help?

We have hatched on day18+ but with ducks I am clueless.GOOD LUCK

I have chicken eggs and they have been wiggling and rolling for 5 days and still no pips! I am unsure of which incubation day it is as I didn't start the process with them. Good to hear you have wigglers too. Good luck!

Thanks--Im glad they're moving too. Just wish I knew whether or not to still stick to the schedule--should I still turn them? They seem to turn themselves back if I try--no pips though.

Mine turn back when I turn them too! I'm scared to turn and scared not to!
