So I did “safety holes” that turned out a lot bigger because of what I used to do them. You can see inside the eggs a bit and stuff. The one that I’m concerned about as not even broke though the air sac... that’s ok, right?

You did all that you could do. You took care of the temperature, humidity, and the safety of the egg. You even made safety holes, its all that you can do for him right now, if everything went smooth inside the egg he will come out healthy and very lovely.

What do I do... the one that hasn’t piped through to the air sac looks like it’s trying but can’t. I’m really starting to worry about it, should I open the egg and make a little hole in the membrane so he can breathe?

I would probably leave it alone for now.

Did you read the article about assisted hatching? (Darius123 gave the link)
It is hard work for the ducklings to hatch, and can take an amount of time that feels like forever-- but assisting too early will usually KILL them.

Being patient can be very difficult, but it is often the best thing you can do for those babies in the eggs.

Ok, thank you so much! I just really don’t want to lose this one...
