Duck hatch help needed....

[Duckmom402]

I have two Pekin duck eggs at day 31. Of the viable seven eggs five have hatched and have been moved to the nursery (aka brooder). I have two eggs left that I’m very concerned about. One pipped two days ago and he wiggles from time to time and I can occasionally hear him chirp, but he hasn’t made any progress to the first pip. Should I help?

My second slow baby always seemed a few days behind in development whenever candled, but still hasn’t pipped and is wiggling/chirping very little if at all. I’m worried - any advice? I really don’t want to lose these two babies.....
