URGENT

Urgent! This is my first time hatching duck eggs!! I have a duck egg that pipped yesterday at 9 am and pipped again in the middle of the night but that was the last thing that it did. I hear it squeaking so I know it’s alive. But it’s been more than 24 hours. Is that ok?

Duck eggs take a long time from pip to zip. The chick is probably resting and absorbing the yolk.

ok, thank you!! I’m definitely a nervous mama.

Up to 48 hours from the external pip I've just read. I hope the chick doesn't keep you waiting too long. After 48 hours you may want to think about helping.
