It’s day 29 and I need advice!

Hi guys .... so I’m hatching roen/and Pekin ducks.. we are on day 29 and I know for certain two of the eggs have been peeping for 24 hours with no pips yet though, the other 7 are rocking back and forth and react when I whistle or talk to them ... but I’m worried about the ones that have been chirping since yesterday... should I make them a saftey hole? Or just wait ? How long does it take Ducks to external pip after internally pipping? Help!!

I usually make a safety hole if they haven't externally pipped within 24 hours of internally pipping.

I gave one egg a saftey hole cause it’s been internally pipped for longer then 24hrs I’ve got one that has it’s beak out and three more have pipped this morning ... they are just late bloomers I think... it’s day 30 today ducks take sooo much longer to hatch once pipped then chickens I’m learning.. I need to be patient
