Incubation period was at 30 days. Yes the motions were happening but something wasn't right as to the breathing pattern. But wasn't sure what it was or what to do as I waited for the yolk & veins to be absorbed.What day of incubation are you on? There are good articles on here about assisted hatching. I think you can find them on the sticky threads, or search in the search bar.
Is the duckling yawning or making chewing motions with its beak? If so that’s a sign it’s still absorbing the yolk
I had a duckling I had to assist a bit last year. He had blood vessels visible so I had to wait until the blood vessels retreated, and then I would remove a bit more shell, stop when I saw blood vessels. Then resume when those vessels disappeared.
