no movement at lock down, should I worry?

i'm in lockdown as well with 8 bantams (showgirls). they're due tomorrow. i heard some peeping lastnight. but so far....no movement, no pips, and no peeps this morning. we are halfway through day 20. so i'll keep you informed. i'm worried....but not AS worried as i was BEFORE i read this post. great question btw! good hatching vibes for everyone!

I have a hatch of 17 duck eggs going right now. At lockdown, we only saw movement in a couple or three. Absolutely no peeping at all, and only rocking from one last night (today is hatch day).

Right now, I have two out and pips from several more, and all indications are that we will have a successful hatch. So in our very limited experience, don't worry about not seeing or hearing much before hatch day-- we didn't, and it doesn't seem to be affecting the success of the hatch.
