    From the looks of where the pip is, I suspect he should be able to hatch on his own. As @New duck mommy 2021 said, it may take extra time because of skipping the internal pip part, so patience is key. Main thing to watch for is darkening or browning of the membrane. If it gets brown and...

    This latest pic looks fine. It is going to need several more hours before these veins recede. But now that so much shell has been removed, you will likely have to continue to assist. The babies are curled up inside to allow leverage to break the shell and rotate inside, breaking the shell by...
