1st ever duck incubation, please help!!

[Madchickwoman]

Hi, I got 6 khaki Campbell eggs on eBay for my incubator, only to find 1 broken, 1 wasn’t fertile, 2 died after a week and one one died after two weeks. This has left me with one prescious egg! They all had detached air cells and looked nothing like the pictures. I think they were scrambled in the post.
The onei have left Is on day 32 there is a big air sac saddled going nearly over the whole side of the egg. I can see movement ? Small beak near the end of the sac but the wrong end!
No noises so I guess no internal pipping yet? Still moving but air sac is so big I think he must be small ? Do I need to do something?
Thankyou

Can you get a picture of the air cell?

@Pyxis and @WVduckchick can help better than I can.

If it’s day 32, there really isn’t much you can do at this point, except read up on assisting a hatch, just in case it becomes necessary.

I currently have one that has done the same thing, huge air cell down one side, but mine actually externally pipped last night, close to the pointed end. I’m waiting a bit longer before I assist.

Thankyou for your reply’s, been spending hours reading up every possible scenario! I will try and take a picture. Just found another thermometer and there may be a 2.4 degree difference in temp which means I’m incubating at 35.6 degrees which may explain it !

In case you haven't found these already. In my eyes the best articles on assisted hatching.

Thankyou, on the second picture the beak is at the bottom left and appears to be still trying to pip? I think as I’ve never seen this before !
