Help! I have 2 khaki Campbell eggs out of 11 that hve internally pipped early! It's day 23. Should I put them all on lock down now or wait til day 25?

7pm was 12 hrs since the first externally pip, still hasn't made an actual hole in the shell, is that normal?

That looks enough of a break for oxygen to be getting in to the egg. Waterfowl can take much longer than chicken eggs so up to 48 hours would not be unusual. This a good read on waterfowl (Says goose but most can be applied to duck too) ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/goose-incubation-hatching-guide-completed.491013/

It has been 29 hrs now since first pip! Is this normal? They still haven't completely make a hole in the shell, I know it can take up to 48 hours to completely hatch, but does it take this long to make an actual hole or are they having trouble? Thanks for all the helpful comments and tip from everyone, it has helped my first time experience so much!

I would definitely ask in your thread in the Duck forum. Those members know more about hatching ducks.
