Make sure it can breathe, I will try to get someone's attention. I am not a hatcher. Just be careful but make sure the nostrils can get air.

it is not exactly what you are dealing with - as you have a duck mom - but may help.

And some duck moms will attack ducklings - not to worry you, but it has happened - so watch carefully - many duck moms are excellent.

As I wrote, I am not a hatcher, but helping can be done - but it is tricky. One danger I have read about is breaking blood vessels. I hope it all works out okay.

It's a very real danger. And @Amiga suggested, one should read the assisted hating article before helping.
