Internal pip?

[Letticethemagpieduck]

Hi, no matter how many times I hatch duck eggs I can never tell when they internally pip. I don’t know wether the pictures I have added bellow are an internal pip or just the duckling pressing on the membrane (the eggs are only on day 23 and still look like they have room to grow)

Thanks x

I have this problem too. I can never tell if it’s a pip or
just “shadowing”. Following.

If you’re lucky it will look like a billion there. But I likewise have a hard time telling. Sometimes it looks like a wing other times a head.

Should I raise the humidity and go lockdown just in case?
I have shone the light through the side of the air cell and I’m still clueless

That what I thought but it’s day 24 today and if they are starting to hatch then I don’t want to keep opening the incubator

Lockdown and up the humidity...Best of luck..

Last time I saw this I thought it was an internal pip and went into lock down on day 24. The first egg didn’t hatch until day 29.

I would just stick to day 25.

My duck eggs did this last time aswell. They hatched day 27. I have put them into lock down. I don’t think that one day early will hurt them?
