I am just wondering, not panicking.
Last night candled all of my duck eggs (they were on day 24). Most of them looked like they were pecking at the membrane towards the air cell. One looked like it had broken through and pecked at the light! I could hear this one peeping and tapping against the shell.
I went ahead and laid all the eggs on their side in preparation to hatch, making sure the ones I could see pecking were face up.
I am just curious now when I should see external pipping from the one that had internally pipped? I know it is still early for them to hatch, just kind of expected something this morning considering that the one was already peeping and pecking.
This is exciting!
Thanks!
