Duckling hatching

[Duckcentral]

One of the others has piped but they are all different ages and some aren’t due to hatch for a week

It usually 24 hours from internal pip to external. Then it's 24 hours after external to zip. How long ago was that hole made?

Ducks take longer than chickens.

Yeah, I know. Just talking about my experience with hatching ducks. Takes about 48 hours all together with my ducks. From pip to hatch I'm meaning

It may take 48 hours all together but it’s been 26 and it hasn’t done more than pip, the edges of the membrain are turning yellow and it’s peeps are getting quieter, please HELP.

I don’t mean to be rude but I’m really stressed, sorry

Do you have an updated pic?
can you still hear the duck?
Is its bill moving at all?
I don't know what to tell you to do but I understand you're stressed and I'm sorry. Hatching is rough.
I'm sure others would advise against this but I wonder if making the hole a little bigger would be okay? Not take the duck out or anything just open the hole a bit?
What do y'all think?

That would necessitate opening the incubator and removing the egg to open the hole, which would change the humidity.

Seriously, baby ducks that are still in the shell sleep just like baby ducks that have hatched. They need to sleep and rest. This length of hatch time is completely normal. I'm not going to guarantee that the duckling is alright, but he most likely is, and the odds of your hurting the hatching duckling are rather greater than your odds of helping.

You're 100% right.
Disregard my post.

Here are some updated photos
I can still hear the duckling but it is getting increasingly feable and I can’t see it moving, I might give it another few hours, then widen the whole a little, what do you think

So how's the egg?
