One of mine takes about 2 hours :ohmy: It can take a while but others can be quite quick. Sometimes I think they lay the egg and then sit quietly for a bit.  Mine made a lot of noise when they first started laying but thankfully all except one are now quiet.  Hope it is egg no. 2 :D

Double yolkers are the best, especially in duck eggs which have huge yolks anyway!!!
