Day 21–Crushed Broody Egg

[MagpieDucks]

Okay, I found the belly area. It looks like the yolk is absorbed, but there are still quite a few veins. Chick is peeping.

 

[MagpieDucks]

Leave it or keep going?

 

[MagpieDucks]

Okay, I'm leaving until morning. That may be 1 in the morning.

The remaining blood veins could have been damaged and wont go away. if the yolk is absorbed you should be able to take chick out of the shell, if it doesn't get out on it's own over night.

Okay, I'm leaving until morning. That may be 1 in the morning. View attachment 1390414

With the membrane around the head peeled back like you have it, when it's ready it should be able to uncurl itself and push itself out on its own, as long as the membrane doesn't dry to it

If it's not out by morning you could carefully take it out if the yolk is absorbed.

[MagpieDucks]

He halfway pushed out last night, he's still alive, so I will leave him a bit longer.

Never had this happen so I'm learning along with you. I hope the little bugger makes it!

This little bit of shell is attached to the umbilical and won't come off.
