Hello. First time with eggs. He/she pipped. Need some advice

[Jadeann123]

Hey everyone, first I want to thank everyone who asked or answered questions about duck eggs. I learned alot, made an incubator, waited 25 days and I just got my first external pip!!!! The first set of eggs I got was from ebay (which was a big mistake only 1 out of 10 made it). But the one that made it this far is about to make an appearance!! But now I'm getting nervous! He/she pipped sometime between 6am and 3pm I was working. Was going to candle for the last time and lockdown tonight its day 25. I did candle yesterday. Movement but no internal pip. I didn't think they external pip so soon after internal, do they? Should I worry? Cause I'm worried!!

Hi and welcome to at BYC We're so happy you decided to join us

It's not unusual to have an early starter. It's also not unusual for them to take up to 24-48 hour break between pip and zip. Just keep an eye on it and as long as it's breathing let it take it's time. Best of luck on your hatch.
