Baby duckling just hatched, undeveloped??

[MGG]

He wasn’t breathing, he was fine hatching on his own at first but then he started drowning in his

28, he piped the air sac on day 26, everything seemed fine and he had piped the shell yesterday and was chirping and seemed to be doin fine

Oh, ok.
I think he will be fine. Is there any yolk left?

He stoped breathing and chirping and was in a lot of fluid. I was able to get him to breathe, but it wasn’t much and then he stopped again so that’s when I did cpr on him. Now he’s moving and chirping but he seems very weak

Yes there is yolk left... what should I do?

I knw they supposed to absorb it but for some reason he didn’t. His butt doesn’t look normal but I’ve seen some pictures of what his looks like but not sure what to do about it

Is this your first time hatching things?

 

[Kathyclawson]

How long ago did he hatch?
He's fine.
Just let him do his stuff.

Nature sometimes takes over bear in mind.

He hatched about 20 mins before I posted

Yes first time. But he’s my 3rd duckling to hatch. The other two are doin amazing

I hate to be negative but whenever I hatch (I do it a lot) there are always the ones which don't make it.
Some people don't hatch their own for that reason.
I hope he does ok

 

[Kathyclawson]

Give him some time to get the hang of being out of the egg, there's no need to panic.
He could be absorbing the yolk still.

Some of the yolk is in the shell at the bottom near his feet. Do I just leave him and keep watching him?

I know, I’ve heard of the stories and it’s definitely a lot of work and thank you so much but I’m definitely the one that panics lol. I’m hoping he will make it too. He is moving more and chirping again just seems a like weak
