Do these eggs look ok? Kinda concerned about them! First time with call duck hatching eggs!

[CaliFarmsAR]

Because he still hasn’t piped to the air sac... I don’t think he’ll make it... he’s breathing is slowing down by a lot.

@CaliFarmsAR I'll tag a few other people, that will hopefully know more than I do

@Miss Lydia @azygous @Eggcessive
The part about this egg is in the most recent 20 posts or so. OP is very worried and wants to assist, but I think it's too soon and the duckling should just be left alone for another day or more. But I'm not really good at ducks, call ducks, or hatching problems, so there might be something I'm missing here.

 

[Miss Lydia]

I can't help since I don't use bators.

But I do know a few that can hopefully help.

You have to tear the inner membrane where the beak is. Next time only give a safety hole after they have already internally pipped.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yeah I was worried about telling the OP to make a small tear in the membrane would it be okay to do that now that he has made the safety hole?

 

[shawluvsbirds]

So I shouldn’t do anything? I’m scared he going to die.

I've not had good luck messing with them before they at least internally pip on their own.

Because he still hasn’t piped to the air sac... I don’t think he’ll make it... he’s breathing is slowing down by a lot.

You may not need to be panicking just yet a lot of times during this stage they take a lot of long rest and you think they are giving up but not necessarily.

Yeah I was worried about telling the OP to make a small tear in the membrane would it be okay to do that now that he has made the safety hole?

Well..
It's not ideal, but if they can do it without nicking a vein then yes I think I would go ahead and do that so it can breathe.
And just moisten that membrane up really good with coconut oil or Vaseline and leave it alone after that and watch for those veins to start receding before moving any further.

It's usually best not to assist in any way unless it's been over 48 hours after external pip. I know people love their safety holes, but I have only seen them cause more harm then good. Getting back to assisting, ducklings as said above are very slow hatchers. If you did not have a pre-calibrate thermometer inside your incubator and only relied on the onboard instruments that would explain no internal pips. Onboard instruments are often innacurate and relying solely on them in many cases will delay the hatch. At this point you want to monitor the membrane for yellowing and turning brown. I like to use plain old original Neosporin especially if there is any risk of live veins. Now you're going to have to be extremely careful with how you go about this next part. I can tell you right now if your ducklings were not supposed to hatch until tomorrow their outer membranes are mostly going to dry out before their veins have fully receded and they have absorbed the yolk. This greatly increases the risk of bleeding out if you assist the hatch any further which at this point will most likely be necessary. If the ducklings do not progress before the membrane start to dry out and shrink you most likely will need to assist by peeling one very small piece off then allow your duckling to sit for 2 hours and then peel another very small piece then allowing it to sit for another 2 hours. Continue this pattern and do not rush it. This process gives the veins time to dry up and the yolk to finish absorbing. I would also recommend having some electrolyte and vitamin supplements on hand if you don't already. All of my ducklings get them for the first 5 days, but assisted hatches always require the extra boost and will need more time after hatch to get their feet under them.

The duckling didn’t make it through the night. I will update with pictures when the other two hatch!!!
