Duck eggs pipping - is everything ok?

We have 3 duck eggs we've been incubating (many others that didn't take). 2 have movement with candling, the other might be a day behind or might not have made it. One egg started to pip - it could have been anywhere within the last 7 hours. The shell is cracked, but it's not a hole. And the egg is moving around a lot. I'm worried there hasn't been any progress beyond that. I've been watching it for over an hour with no progress, although lots of movement. I also misted with warm water - do you think that's ok? I read somewhere to do that. Is this all normal so far?
