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

[Lacrystol]

No peeping, but plenty of tapping! The external pip is approx 1cm along now! The malpostioned ones bill is opening and closing, but no peeping, not making any moves around either. How long would you leave him?

Well check him tomorrow and if he hasn't made any progress will help him we have to make sure he fully absorbed. It looks like he may have just externally peeped today so will give him 24 hours.

No blood now when touched with damp paper towel

It's to thick from what's going inside so will have to wait a little longer. Unless it keeps bleeding them maybe will tie it off but right now I would like to see it dry up some more.

You can see it wants to close up too lol.

He seems to be doing ok right now. No new blood... Fingers crossed

Still no new pippers... By days, these four were due today or tomorrow.. Obviously waiting and seeing.. These four that hatched moved em all around made em hard to see :/

Good morning everyone! No pictures yet out Outtie... Human Kids are all still sleeping! But I think he's looking good! We had a long talk this morning and he had some water. I'm gonna give him some food in a little bit. The first three babies, Pip, n/a, and Wobble (with no 's'), are doing great! I introduced them to the Muscovy babies that I was forced to by at the feed and seed yesterday and they are thrilled to have mentors! So much in fact, that from the moment they met, the trio bullied the muscovys! But now they are all cuddled comfortably together! Bad kids!
On to my 17 remaining eggs, no pips yet... Should I be concerned?

17 eggs at day 28? Probably should candle them.

They were all good on Friday, I did sneak one out this morning and candle. The air sac seems unbothered and the whole egg is dark, hard to see into it
