Duck eggs super sticky

[Thefurniturefarm]

I had to help this duck get out of its shell because it was super shrink wrapped and sticky. This is how the shell looked after as well as his umbilical cord. Will he survive? Or what are the chances.

I'm sure others with experience will be along soon, I just wanted to send warm support.

How’s things with the duckling this morning? @Pyxis

Did the yolk absorb? Looks to be out some in that picture.

How is he this morning? Looks like his umbilicus still had some closing to do last night.

He keeps kicking legs in the air but hasnt been able to support himself or his body. I wrapped him in a warm cloth and he seems more content. Is there anything I should give it or do for it?

Did the umbilicus close completely? Don't give up if a rough hatch it can take 24 hrs or more to get up on it's feet. @Pyxis

Agreed. It May just take some extra time to get fully on its feet.
I had some super sticky ones last year. . lots of nasty goo inside. I think my incubator temps were way off.
None of mine that were like that hatched. So. .yours at least made it out! That's a good plus. Hopefully it finished absorbing and will be fine.
