The first O Shamo external pip!
This has turned from hurry up and wait, to oh my I can't wait!

Hey @Trimurtisan I have an external pip too!
It's a race!
The chick will probably win. Ducks are slow pokes.

Haha! Your on!

Do you know what time your wrong ender pipped?
I read when I was looking at info for the wrong end turkeys that when they pip the wrong end, expect to give them more time since they did not pip into the air cell first. . they will have that much more absorbing to do. . that makes sense to me since they start absorbing when they start breathing air.

I'm not sure what time mine did since I've been at work.
Yours will probably hatch on its own. . but you may want to locate some supplies for assisting just in case. I always like to get my stuff gathered up cause when I decide it's time to help I get anxious and can't remember what I done with my stuff.

Forceps, check
Tweezers, check
Hammer, check

So in all seriousness, what kind of equipment should I have ready?

coconut oil or Vaseline.
A small drill bit or screw to open the air cell if needed.
Q tips. Paper towels. Flash light. Styptic powder if you have it. Find yourself a short bowl or dish for propping them up in the incubator in case it pops out too early and needs to absorb more yolk.
