How Is The Baby Doing ?

You can carefully snip off the main gunk connected to the shell, try to snip as far away from the duckling as you can. If any blood comes out, have some antibiotic ointment handy on a q-tip or your finger and stop it. Then I’d put it back in a small bowl, on a dry paper towel or soft towel and let the rest absorb, if it will. I honestly can’t tell whether the gunk is intestines, or just waste from hatching, so survival is iffy, but there is no way for it to absorb all of that, so might as well snip it to avoid any infection. The part above my yellow line below can still be drawn into its body. Best of luck!

This is what I would do.

The long and awaited update on the duckling: Over night I guess the chick had separated itself from the rest of the gunk/sac. The duckling is doing fine and is very lively.
