Duck pipped at the wrong end!!!

[kyrose]

Hello,this is my first time for hatching duck eggs.I have 1 that has a nice size hole in the wrong end of the egg.Its got the egg really rocking,and theres alot of peeping,and i can see the bill.Is there anything i need to do to help it or can it get out of that end?Ive never had a chick do it,so i have no experience with it.Also theres no zipping just that hole since Thursday night.Any advice is appreciated...

ehh... yeah i had a duckling who did that once. i helped him out very steadily. unfortunately, he died when he was 3 days old. and on my birthday too.

i dont know what to say

I've had birds hatch out from the wrong end and do fine, as long as they can breath
