Help!!! Chick gonna hatch early?????

[Kabindramagar]

Feeling it tap is a huge sign of pipping. This is kind of making me excited Haha. What I would do is leave the eggs be until the morning than peak in there to see if any have pipped, because you felt the duckling tapping inside the egg shows huge signs that it is ready, I would be surprised if one doesn't pip tonight.

Hoping for the same. Will check again on it today evening and tomorrow.
Btw my humidty is stuck at 57-60% should this be enough?

Increase it a bit, have it at about 65-70% make sure during lockdown it doesn't decrease to under 60%

Checked in and no external pips yet. Their beak is moving in the aircell tho. Wanted to ask should I make a breathing hole if it hasn't externally pipped by tomorrow?? And how long would it take to hatch once I make that hole.

Im currently hatching local duck eggs which take 28 days to complete. Im on day 23 and noticed that 3 eggs have movements on the inner membrane. Looks like beak trying to poke the membrane. But its only day 23 and I thhink this is gonna be a early hatch?? I turned all of em today morning as im only on the 23rd day when lockdown is still 2 days away and noticed this. Should I turn back the eggs into its original position???? Really worried. 3 out of the 6 eggs are like this the other 3 are normal

This is called shadowing, they can do this days before internally pipping, but they do seem to have filled the egg up... Lockdown is typically day 25, but if you see the air cell drop suddenly and lots of movement in or against the air cell, then perhaps put them into lockdown on day 24, tomorrow. It won't hurt doing it a day early, and you don't need to turn the egg anymore as long as it was turned regularly and consistently up until now.

So I opened the incubator again

To turn 2 of the eggs as they haven't internally pipped yet and its still 2 days from lockdown. I could hear tapping sounds which I believe is the ones internally pipped trying to pip externally. But I hear no chirping. So I assume the chirping should happen once the external pip is done?

yes, tapping sounds are a sure sign of internal pipping, one of mine did this too, before chirping.
You can go ahead and put them into lockdown now

Did it internally pip today? You dont need to make an air hole until it's been 24 hours.
A safety hole can be done after that to ensure the duckling has plenty of air to breathe. But doing a safety hole too early can make for a lazy/slower hatching duckling, or so I've heard. He should be fine for now. My ducklings both external pipped between 12 and 24 hours after internal. Once externally pipped, the duckling will rest before zipping. They are very slow hatchers and it's important not to rush them. My first took more than a day just zipping, my second was much faster.

Just checked on the eggs. 1 out of the 3 has jus externally pipped!!! Hoping the other 2 will also soon.

2nd egg alsao externally pipped today. Waiting for the third one to. How long would it take from external pip to zip? One externally pipped yesterday and its as it is. No signs of zip

I realize it’s probably to late, but from what I’ve read I think it’s suggested to try to keep them in the bottom half of their shell (maybe in like a Dixie cup?) to let them finish absorbing the yolk sac. Hoping your little one hangs on.
