Are there any duck hatching experts available to help?

I personally wouldn't wait that long...

May, I kindly ask why you would assist so soon? If this duckling pipped on the right side, I may slowly expand where it pipped, but it isn't, we have to treat wrong sidder's differently since they didn't have the chance to internally pip and rest for 24 hours.

If the duckling is getting plenty of air, there is no need to hurry up and assist, most damage is done that way.

How do I know if the duckling is getting plenty of air? Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I didn’t know because I was worried to open the incubator and cause more problems! But YAY, this morning, we have another hatched duckling!!!!!!

Was it the one you were thinking you would have to assist?

Yep, I just had a malpositioned chick last hatch that took extra long, since the internal pip is also the external pip. Definitely wait longer.

Congrats! How's the duckling in question today?
