HELP!!!Wiggling duck eggs!!!!

[Ducklings100]

I have six duck eggs in my incubator. And they started wiggling two days ago. Today, they were wiggling like crazy. Does this mean they will hatch soon? Should I get ready for lockdown already ?

Which day are they on?

They are on day 21.

Duck eggs go into lockdown on day 24 or 25. They hatch day 27 late to 31.

I may think they are wiggling because the duckling in the egg moves, but wait to put them on lockdown

Ok, this same thing happened last year though when I had duck eggs wiggling not as early as these, but still early. They ended up hatching on day 24

What happened with the ducklings? Did they hatch early? I am curious because I currently have duck eggs wiggling/rocking on day 22.

The ducklings hatched fine. Two didn't make it though. Yes, two of them hatched three days early, both mallards. So maybe it's just there breed? I ended up putting them in lockdown a day early because of internal pips, and wiggling. Yours may hatch early though, try to check for internal pips before lockdown if you can.
