Overdue eggs won't internally pip?

Three ducks and a chick. Waiting on their sibling!

Thanks everyone for your advice! My #7 hatched overnight. my #6 was doing so well I let it out of the "time out" bowl and is now resting in the bator with sibling. I don't think my #3 egg with do anything. I will leave it until tomorrow before discarding it. I am thankful for my 6/7 first hatch! I will watch these grow, (first 2 have a home tomorrow) and maybe try chicken eggs next. I have heard they are easier than the ducks. I'll wait a while though. I'm worn out!!

Get him out of the Bowl, there's no reason why he's in there, that is why i was hoping to get a picture sooner, what you are seeing is probably his vent swelled up, it looks similar to yolk. He just needs some vitamins as i had stated earlier.

Lacrystol. I'm sorry I never saw you mention giving it vitamins or I would have asked what kind. I believed the yolk was not absorbed because there was a lot of stuff in the shell attached to the duckling by two tiny veins. (looked like it to me) The shells left behind by the others just had a very small amount of yuck left and did not appear to be attached when they kicked away from the shell. #6 was still attached to the blob in the bottom of the shell. I realize a picture would have helped a lot. I am extremely electronically challenged. I was also in a panic.
Putting it in a bowl was the advise of another member. It actually worked out great. The duckling was unable to drag the remainder of the shell around the bator and it stayed attached a while longer. Also, last night I had another hatch (#7)and it protected one from the other. Good thing because #6 is tiny and my #7 was the long, big, irregular egg and it is huge! All and all I think it turned out good for an emergency incubation. (and my first). I have 1of1 adorable chick, and 5of6 rambunctious ducklings. Thanks for all your suggestions and help.

Number six is that him in the first pic? Is the Membrane still attached to him? I see the shell is COMPLETELY gone??

yes, that is #6. that is the membrane and the other duckling was picking at it. "I" took most of the rest of the shell off thinking he would leave it alone. He didn't so I took him to join his siblings early. Then, I put #6 in the bowl so he couldn't drag it off. Another hatched overnight and I guess he would have picking too had he been able to reach. Everyone is doing great now. My #3 had died earlier. I guess he just couldn't develop at the right rate and I'm not sure why. He appeared to be developed just small. He was moist with a lot of yolk left. It's possible because it was a smaller egg that it could have been from my female that just started laying. I don't know?

Number 6 should be separated from the others until he's up and able to walk, can he walk now? Not sure the story on Number 3? Smaller eggs shouldn't matter.

#6 is doing well.It joined the others and was a bit smaller. That's how you could tell them apart by a glance. No issues. I was just thinking the #3 may have come from my 5 month old. She just started laying a day or two before it took the cluch.Both ducks lay in the same nest now.
