  • Reply to Alex's comment I need an update it's been 5 hours At least 12 hours and up to 48 hours after the external pip, the duckling "zips," or turns around in the shell and makes a crack all around. In other words, it's 12- 48 hours from pip to zip. Zipping only takes a few hours, or even less than an hour. After zipping, the duckling pops the top off and is usually out and fully hatched within minutes.
