Pekin duck egg internally piped on day 25

[Lucybeales]

Hi I just went to put my Pekin into lockdown on day 25 I candled them and 5/6 are internally piped. I’ve hatched out Pekin before in the same incubator and never had this before, will they be out when they hatch ?
Any advice is appreciated!

Internal pips on day 25 is perfectly normal. I’d expect them to hatch day 27 or 28.

That’s great thank you, I also have Cayuga eggs in the incubator that are moving a lot on day 22 is this normal?

Yes, that can be normal, too. It sounds like your babies are just a day or so early, which is fine.

If they’re just moving, no, I’d keep turning. Stop turning once you see at least 1 of them internally pip.
