I set 3 duck eggs on 5/5. These were the last eggs I could gather from the Ancona and Duclair ducks that had showed up behind my house during the winter. They turned out to be abandoned ducks that were looking for someone to feed them. I took care of them until I moved and my neighbors took over feeding them. Anyways, one quit earlier on and the other two have done great. Tomorrow's lockdown and they are both rocking. Is this the normal time they start rocking? And does this indicate when they might hatch. This is my first time doing this so I have lots of questions. I am just so nervous these won't make it. And this is my only chance to hatch eggs from my adopted babies. Thanks in advance.
 
I think one has pipped internally also. How long before I should see an external pip? Should I go ahead and lock them down early since they seem to be developing quicker than I thought or just wait until tomorrow when they'll be 25 days?
