That crazy duck lady

I have a duck egg I took from a broody hen because I thought it was rotten.
When I candled it again, I saw movement, but there is liquid around the air sac. I placed it in my incubator to see if it would set and this morning I checked on it again.
There is A LOT of movement, the duckling is moving around quite a bit. But there is still liquid.
These eggs belong to my first duck ever…I won’t be devastated if the little one won’t make it but I am invested now. Is there a chance it will survive? Should I do anything to help it along?
It’s moving more that the other eggs the broody hen has and I fear it’s trying to pip but maybe has too much room due to the liquid and may be flipping around in there. I’ve hatched call duck eggs and know a decent amount about assisting in a hatch and I am not sure if I should intervene.
Anyone with experience or advice on a similar situation, your help will be greatly appreciated!
