Duck egg

[tessandherducks]

Hi all, I am hatching ducklings and the first duckling started unzipping yesterday and stopped, it’s 6 hours later and so I made the hole bigger. He is not ready to come out yet as I can see what I think is the yolk. But his eyes are glued shut from the membrane and I get worried he is going to run out of energy. I will upload a picture and any advise would be helpful, many thanks Xx
