It's only day 26 for duck eggs so I don't think I'll be assisting

Good idea - I was thinking you had chicken eggs - shows I should read the title!!

What breed of duck? I have Mallards.

Ok so some of the eggs have been internally pipped for over 24 hours what should I do?

 

[Mamasaurus]

Nothing! Let them hatch. They have a much better chance of survival if you leave them alone. Think long term gain

 

[chickster5003]

Well I pipped a like microscopic hole in the top, because the babies weren't moving and peeping a lot, now they peep every time i shine my light in

Try to let them alone. Even though it's so tempting! They'll pip when they are ready any hatched yet?
