Detached air cell Silver Appleyard duckling at day 30

I could not believe the little duckling has internally pipped and I pray will hatch ok . Candled the egg a couple of hours ago and still moving around.

Ok so if he is still moving he will breathe through the air sac. Give him an hour then a candle and look for movement. Hatching is a lot of work for little ducks and chicks so it can take a little time so don't be rushed. How long has he been trying?
