What is PiPing?
Piping is when the duck starts to peck its way out or piping its way out. Once ducks hatch they need to stay in the incubator for 24 hours, then they need food water and a brooder or a box high enough, so that they do not escape. And they need to have a heater or a light inside.

Necessities Of A Duckling
When the duckling is hatching you shouldn't help it out. In some situations like when it is looking like its giving up, then you help. To do this, take some tweezers and carefully peel. A little part of the shell at a time. After the ducks hatch, first you need to find a brooding box. Then after the ducks have hatched from their shells, they spend about 24 hours getting used to their new surroundings. They're ready to move to a brooder.

What is a Brooder ?
A brooder is a heated house for chicks ducks and piglets. Ducklings need a warm and draft free brooder box.
The brooder needs to have Food water and a place to swim.
Actually, a brooder needs to be set up long before your little's get to the stage of needing one ,it should be well set up, warmed and all ready before they actually need it. It's something you should be thinking about several days before they arrive, whether that will be by incubator or by post.
