    Muscovy hatch help

    I have a Muscovy with 6 eggs due to hatch Friday. Yesterday one started to pip. My hen broke open the egg and carried it out of the nest. The duckling is still alive and the bleeding has stopped but I am not sure what to do. Do I leave it in the shell or take it out of the shell?
