Hey- I don't know whether to help my ducks. I a hatching call duck eggs and today is the due date- they are all moving and can hear the occasional cheep and they internally pipped about 29-30 hours and their beaks are nowhere near the top of the egg to start internally pipping?! What shall I do? Shall I make a small hole?! Any advice and plans would be amazing !!
Shall I help them?!' Please help me xx

We have a couple people on here that are "duck" people that can give you more insight, however, they are already internally pipped if the are cheeping. It's just a matter of making the external pip. I have seen some people make a small safety hole in the air cell to allow more time for them to progress. It's a matter of what you are comfortable with.
 
It has been nearly 48 hours now since they internally pipped and there is still no external pip! Shall I make a hole
