New to hatching ducks...QUESTION (UPDATE inside)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lickskillet]

I have 3 pipped Rouen eggs out of 5 as of 9:00 p.m. yesterday evening. How long does it take from first pip to actual hatch? I think I read somewhere that it can take up to 48 hours. Am I remembering right? Thanks

Here's our new babies, all 5 hatched fine!! We'll 99.9%! LOLOL

Thanks Fay! I'm just trying to make sure I'm around with the kids to see the actual hatch. This is very exciting for them!

Just in case anyone is interested, I have put a web cam in the bator, and it's live streaming the pips now. Not the best picture, but the best I could do at this time. I have 2 big pips in two of the eggs and 2 smaller pips in two other eggs and nothing in the last egg, YET! So pretty good out of 6 original eggies, 5 are doing their thing, (one quitter during the beginning of the second week). OK here's the link:

Yep! They are offline because they already hatched!! In my first post at the top of this thread I have updated with a link in blue that takes you to my updated pictures of them! Thanks
