URGENT PLEASE HELP. DROPPED PEKIN EGG DAY 22-23

I'm so sorry that I missed the tag earlier! I agree with @MGG as she's been such an amazingly helpful guide for me throughout my hatching experience. Did you notice any bleeding? Was it just the shell or did the membrane break too?
Edited : I see that you addressed this in your initial post. My apologies! That's good that the membrane didn't tear.

I know it's easier said than done but go easy on yourself. This has happened to so many of us. I know it's so stressful in the moment and leading up to a hatch. Always remember that regardless of the outcome we all do the best we can but still don't control the future. I dropped a Serama egg (sensitive hatchers) and cracked it. I'll be over here cheering you and your ducklings on!
Is it normal if the ducklings are making 2 external pip spots?

They do sometimes make a "double" external pip. They make one at first, another a couple hours later, and then zip 2-10 hours after that. From what I've experienced anyway.
Does it look like this? (Apparently this is the only pic I have that *badly* shows what I mean)

Let's tag my sweet friend @MGG

What is your humidity at?
Is the first hole the external pip into the air cell and the other where the duckling is beginning to zip?
Possibly. It’s right nevt to the spots they originally externally pipped. The humidity is at 70. Then another egg has externally pipped on bottom and not in air sac... they are all moving Bc I can candle through incubator with flashlight.
