I have a PIP and they are not "due" until the 17th?!?

[BarefootMom]

I have 19 duck eggs in the incubator and tonight when I was turning them I noticed a pip! AHH did I hurt them by turning them?? I was going to put them into lockdown on Saturday! I am not ready yet! I wanted to be home for hatching! I am going tomorrow afternoon to pick up a pair of young blue slate turkeys!!

I don't have the brooder cleaned up and ready, luckily I am already feeding meatbird crumbles so I do have food but still!

I really hope I didn't hurt any of them by turning them tonight. I didn't notice the pip until I had turned most of them. We bought these eggs at auction so I don't know if they had maybe been set on for awhile?
