This is my first time hatching since I was a kid. I have 10 viable eggs out of 10 eggs put in bator (yeah, I know no culls is weird). They are duck eggs on day 24. Last night I heard some noise (pecking and a faint peep?) and cat was watching the bator intently. So I took the eggs off the turner. One egg has been rolling a bit and moving in the bator. Eggs are due to hatch unitl day 28 (Saturday). They are in lockdown mode now.
So, what should I expect? I did not see any pipping this morning however I didn't open the bator to check the eggs underside. Didn't see movement this morning either although I didn't watch very long.
Also, Duck eggs were accidently overheated last week when bator ran up to 118F rapidly when temp control jammed. Luckily seemed to catch it in time and all duck eggs show movement on candling. I'm guessing this is why I am seeing them appear to be close to hatch a bit early.
So, how long after the egg starts moving should I see pipping? How long till I hear clear peeping? And how long from pipping until duckling emerges?
