Hello,
My duck pipped externally over 36 hours ago and is making a lot of noise- maybe like he is in pain?
There is a hole but i don’t know whether to help him out?
Please help!!!
 
yep seems to be but it’s beak is sticking out and i don’t see how he can get out of his beak isn’t in the shell?
 
Uh oh... is the duckling still chirping/quacking..?
Because day 32 is way too late.. if the duckling still has life, you should help it hatch. but if you don't see any sign of life, it is dead.

I've never seen any chicken/duck/quail/poultry bird hatch 4 days after the hatch date. I've seen some hatch 3 days after the hatch date, but I think in your case, it's too late..

If you know that it is alive, try helping it hatch. You MUST be really careful if you want it to have a chance to survive. Slowly peel away the membrane, being careful not to get any veins. If the membrane is really dry (I would expect it to be..), then lightly dab it with a wet cloth to moisturize it, then start peeling.
Lastly, you must be patient. this process could take hours/..
Good luck ❤️ Keep me updated please.

Could you also please post a picture of what it looks like? Or maybe a video of the duckling quacking? That would be really helpful
