I have a mother call duck who has been sitting on four eggs. Three of them hatched on time, and two days later, another pips. That was late last night. This morning, i checked again, and the duck was almost completely out of its shell (its feet, legs, neck, head, stomache, and tail) were all out. I pulled away a very small peice of hard shell at the base of its neck, and six hours later it is still struggling with no more progress. should i assist its hatching? the mother is still sitting on it and doesnt seem to be of any help.
