The incubator is peeping!!!

[Crayonsmom]

Earlier today I was getting really worried about my duck eggs that are 3 days late, but tonight there's definitely at least one (out of 3) peeping every few minutes. I don't see a pip anywhere yet though. Can they peep in there before they pip or is there a pip somewhere that I can't see through the window?

They will start chirping before making a pip

Wishing you the best of luck with your little one!

They can peep for up to 24 hours before pipping, although they generally pip sooner. If it peeps for longer than 24 hours and no pip, i would start to fret a bit. That's just me. i'm a fretter.

Cool! In that case I hope I see a pip soon! I'd love to see two more pips soon as well. Hehe. Every day I keep coming home from school thinking maybe there's a fluffy little duck in there. Hopefully there really will be soon.

Oh I'm a fretter too! I've heard of some people pipping theeggs for the chicks... That doesn't sound like a very good idea, but if it gets to that point and there isn't much chance anyway, is it worth trying? Hopefully things will just go pretty smoothly though.
