Hi,
My duck egg externally pipped about 36 hours ago and about 6-7 hours ago it became much more vocal and i have heard tapping against the shell since then, so i think this is when it started to try and zip. I'm not too sure of the time but sometime in the last four hours it has made another crack on its shell next to its first pip. Both cracks are not very big and just look like the star pattern but don't seem to go far though/ have a large hole. Is this the normal amount of time? I've read that it is supposed to be quicker to zip once started but i know the internet isn't always trustworthy. Is there anything i can do to make it easier to break out, i read somewhen rubbing it lightly with a warm towel can help, is this right or are there other things?
I appreciate any advise i get, thanks
