2nd day since duck egg showed visible sign of hatching

I THINK there is a little more of the eggshell protruding today.  I certainly hear more peeping going on.  Trying to make sure it's going as well as it can, I did a little more research and stumbled across a comment that some ducks prefer to do all their hatching work in the dark.  Makes sense, now that I think about how the mothers are either sitting on them or have them covered.  So, I just tried to make a little window shade out of some 4x6 size post it note paper.  Time will tell.  Or, maybe our little duckling is just not ready yet.  :)
I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my first little duckling.
