Duck egg pipped on side

[S0uthernangel19]

Do I assist this duckling or not? I had three hatch and then a fourth late bloomer, but he pipped on the side and his foot and beak are out! The other ducklings keep pecking at him!

First time Hatcher, any advice appreciated!

I think I would slowly start chipping away the shell. Stop if you see blood.
