Leave it alone, they can take 24-48 hours to hatch after pipping.

Wait. I have had ducks like that that have taken 24 hrs to get out. Did the others get out alright? Or is this the first to pip? Anytime i have "helped" before waiting a day, ive killed them. Its hard to be patient when you think thyre dying.

Is it normal for its beak to hang out ?

 

[shelleyd2008]

Yes, it is normal for the bill to poke out of the egg.
