So this is my first try at hatching duck eggs. I set 8 pekin eggs but only one made it. Yesterday (Monday) about mid morning it finally externally pipped. Right on time for when I set them. But there has been very very little progress since then. Only one tiny bit of the shell has fallen off where it pipped. Am I being too impatient? Or should I step in and help the little bugger out? I’ve read it can take 24-30 hours after external pip for the duckling to continue hatching but I’m getting worried. What should I do?
