My duck eggs hatching early!?!? Did I do something wrong?

[Lacrystol]

Also, I candled the other eggs just now to take a peek and I swear I have an internal pip. I saw a definite shadow going in and out of the air cell. That's an internal pip right? I moved it into the hatching bator which is at a temp of 99 degrees and humidity is at 72%. Hopefully this is correct!

Settings are good

Thanks! I hope it hatches, although it is a bit early. I can't hear any chirping, but I do have twelve 5 day old chicks that are being quite noisy so I may not have realized if it was coming from the egg vs the chicks. I noticed the egg rocking just a minute ago so I'm keeping my fingers crossed! We shall see what happens to the others

NOPE you won't hear him yet, once he breaks through you will

NO shawdowing is not internally pipped, but definitely CLOSE, give him about a day or so then you should hear some NOISE.



LETS MAKE SOME NOISE DUCKIES> lol

A shadow going in and out of the air cell is NOT an internal pip???

Quote: You should be able to see the beak once they have pipped internally. Let me go take a picture of one.

Now I will go see if I can get a good one of one that is just staring to push on the membrane.

This one is probably two or three days from piping internally and has just started to push on the membrane.

I will see if I can take pictures of the egg in post #737 once every 4-6 hours.

So the point being it may just be pressing on the membrane and not actually poked through it?
My bad, I guess I jumped the gun. Sorry Teacherchick.

Wasn't trying to say anyone was wrong, just thought some pictures might help.
