    HELP! Pekin stuck in shell, dry membrane!

    HELP! Pekin stuck in shell, dry membrane!

    Got pics. Pulled/cut the loose parts of the shell off, but some of his feathers came w it. This did allow me to get a better look though, and his yolk is not stuck to the shell, its gone.

    HELP! Pekin stuck in shell, dry membrane!

    What if it is stuck to the shell? If i try to remove the duck, and there's still yolk attached to the shell, can the duckling bleed out? He's mostly out of the shell, but twisted and looks like his belly is stuck to the bottom of the shell. Im just so scared to cause more harm to him!

    Update for today, he's partially out, but doesn't look good and appears to be stuck by his belly in the egg still. We are just watching and waiting....still very worried for the poor little guy. None of the others have had issues, just him.

    HELP! Pekin stuck in shell, dry membrane!

    Update vid, this was just taken. Not sure if he's still trying to absorb yolk sac, or struggling to breathe. What do you guys think?

    HELP! Pekin stuck in shell, dry membrane!

    I'll be honest, I have no idea the day it's on, because Mama Pekin was incubating until she met her demise. I thought I had another week to go, until they started hatching 4 days ago. Im gonna leave this little guy be, as I could cause more harm than good, and he's got a clutchmate still...

    HELP! Pekin stuck in shell, dry membrane!

    Added a vid to the previous post. I think the duckling is positioned wrong, and is trying to hatch from the small end. I tried popping off a portion of the eggshell and membrane is open, so no real way to apply coconut oil. We had 6 hatch over the course of the last 3 days, w/o assistance...
