A safety hole was the right thing to do after 24 hours. But ducks are slow hatchers, and can take up to 48 hours after that to start to zip, since they need to finish absorbing everything.

You don't need to lower the temp. What breed are these ducks, by the way?

I'm hatching Bali ducks right now are they known to hatch earlier or later? I'm not sure? I think my temp in my incubator was a bit inaccurate it was at 100 degrees I think I'm not sure if that would have any impact on the early hatchers?

Those should still be hatching at day 28 usually, so your temps may be a little high. Is your incubator still air or forced air? What date did you set the eggs?

I have the janoel 12 incubator it's forced air so it has a fan... I set the eggs on June 24th but maybe the temp had something to do with early hatchers
