Today is day 26 of incubation, one of my ducklings are hatchign out a few days early, he externally pipped early this morning. I noticed after he popped a piece of egg shell off the membrane was brown. What does this mean? Could this happen because of lack of humidity? (Wouldn't make sense...

Well I set my duck eggs on June 1st, what I read is that the day you set them counts as day 0, well one of my eggs already internally pipped. Should I stop turning all of my 4 eggs and do what i'd do at lockdown? Thanks alot! :)

How old is the little guy? Did any complications happen while hatching? I had a similar story with my chick, he had a swollen belly, after about 3 days it started to walk fine. Though my guy had problems while hatching. Could I have some picture of his legs and his belly, just to be sure? Thanks :)
