One of my runner duck hatchlings came out of the egg with some "goop" anyway...it was attached at the belly and I am afraid it has pulled some of the intestines out with it. Is there anything I can do? There is no free flowing blood or mucus or anything. It appears dry. Suggestions.

A fellow teacher in my school has chicken eggs in an incubator awaiting hatch. She set the eggs on March 22 in the morning, like 8:00. Would you count that day as day one or wait until the following day to count it as day one? She locked down on Friday morning with no sign of anything really...
