Duck hatch help please

[Ravynscroft]

He is flipping and flopping all over the incubator like crazy! He's stuck upside down and dragging his shell by a little cord.. I'm a little nervous!

Take him in one hand and shell in the other... twist the shell around and around so the cord twists up, all one way... then clip the cord close to the shell, not the 'ling...

My baby (human one lol) was crying so I left Hughbert for a little bit. I came back and he had gotten off his shell on his own There was poo poo in there and I do not see any sac anywhere. He STILL is not resting! He is running around the incubator!!

That's just hatching goo... leftovers from the albumen and such...

Great job!!! And don't worry, he will rest when he needs to... how does his navel look? (Where the cord was attached)
