It won't hurt to take a quick peek with a flash light in a dark room.

Woke up this morining and I’m pretty sure that I heard peeping from one of the eggs

Keep waiting....

Can't wait to see a Magpie duckling come out of that egg!!!

Looks like it might just be pushing up against the membrane in there still.
You should see a clear beak shape once it busts through.
Sit tight and eat some popcorn. You should have a duck in a few days.

It has been 24 hours since the first external pip appeared and there is no progress, the pip isn’t enough to fully break through the egg, only kinda dent it. Is this ok/normal? The chick is piping away and wobbling tonnes. Thanks x

I say leave it. Give it some more time.

When would be a time to start worrying? I’m really trying not to not worry since this is my first time hatching them and I want to remain calm one of the eggs I’m pretty sure piped internally over 24 hours ago but has stopped wiggling or peeping and hasn’t externally piped ?

I'd say 36-48 hours after pipping.

Yea I say wait still too.
Ducks are really slow.
Just keep an eye on it and if you notice it get really quiet and start to really slow down/not move then report back.


The second one...have you candled it to look for movement?
