    duckling with leaking yolk??

    The air sac looks in tack and that's normally all i look at but when i put the light under him there us a lot of open area. I'm guessing that's not normal. Here is the view from the bottom.

There were 3 i put in the incubator later and due tomorrow. 1 has had no movement for the last 2 days (so i need to discard but i was waiting to be certain she wasn't just napping) 2 and 3 had both internally pipped last night.
