Duck egg hatching away from air sac and at the bottom

[AquaDuck]

I tilted it a little and noticed that the membrane was very brown and dry, so I peeled a bit back so that the ducklings beak is exposed, but it started making yawning motions so I placed it back in the incubator.
The part that I peeled off had dried dark crusts on it (if that makes sense). Also if it helps, the egg had a bruise on it and that’s where it made it’s first pip, so not sure if the bruise is what caused the dry things on the membrane.( as I was reading about assisted hatching and the bruising that occurs on call ducks looks very similar to this - my duckling is a pekin
Not sure if I’m going to have to do a full assist :/
Sorry for the load of information, but this is my first time and I’m really appreciative of the help and advice

What's your humidity? It could be a little dry. If the membrane has dried it will most likely need to be helped out. I've noticed what you describe on the wrong-enders I've had as well. It could be that because they open their shell earlier than the others, that they have a longer period where the membrane can dry out. Nothing to do about it really. Any assistance before it's ready to get out will only harm it. The brown/yellow and the bruise is waste products and isn't dangerous as long as the chick's beak is exposed and it can breathe properly. I always keep a close eye on duck wrong-enders as they often need help to rotate and open the shell properly. Wait til it starts zipping, then you can intervene and help it complete its mission.

The humidity is around 73%, and I made sure that the beak is exposed and surrounding membrane moistened. It’s been around 40 hours now since the first pip, do you suggest I give it some more time Before helping?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP

That sounds good. There's really nothing more to do than wait! Ducks are infuriatingly slow to hatch .
