The pics are from tonight day 21 and All 4 still wiggling like crazy!! It looks like day 23-24 to me once again like two days ahead. No internal pips. I won’t candle tmrw night like you said do every other and keep eye for internal pips. Thanks

They all look good! I honestly think they look pretty close to on track. Maybe day 22-23, but I could see them being day 21.
Sounds good!

Ok great news thanks so much for looking. So we’re back to normal hatch day hopefully 26-28. But How do we explain the wiggling since day 18 lol it’s getting worse each day just now before bed I turned 4th time today and the one was basically moving itself not just little wiggling.

Well, they can start wiggling pretty early. I've had some ducks start wiggling noticeably as early as day 20. They might wiggle before that too but I don't always notice it. I've seen goose eggs start wiggling on day 15.

Ok thanks good to know because I cannot remember my first batch I hatched any details like that so I was on here searching and what I’ve come across is they only starts wiggling few days before hatch and since they looked big in there I keep worrrying they’ll hatch early. Lol maybe they’re just a very energetic bunch. I’ll continue to take your advice and candle every other day and lockdown day 25 as planned unless I see internal pip. Thanks so much for easing my worries.

So number 4 the first wiggler air sac is bigger than the rest and I just candled and I cannot see a clear beak but see bulge above air sac line. Hard to see in pic because it moves a little. I don’t hear peeps tho. My question is if he like internally pips first like tmrw day 24 should I start lockdown a day early ?
Day 23 today
