    HELP. Hatching ducklings, when should I help?

    Update for anyone who comes across the post. I did exactly what was said above and a few hours later the duck who I thought had too much liquid in it came out perfectly fine! It did not need anymore help.

    HELP. Hatching ducklings, when should I help?

    Thank you for all of the advice! It has been helpful talking to someone about this. I just finished reading that article, answered a lot of my questions too. On a positive note, this is the first one that hatched and it is doing great!
