Duckling having issues pipping?

[silkiemother]

I accidentally made the hole a little too big because my hand slipped but it should be fine, right?

get coconut oil for membranes
I havent hatched a lot of ducks only 2 muscovy, which are on my shoulder right now. I didnt think 1 was going to make it as i peeled shell and saw bit of yolk sack when its sibling was already out running around. So i wet it few hours later after seeing minimal absorbtion then i deciced to wrap half body and the egg in glad wrap and left it with its head outta the shell in the incubator. It came out on its own, it also was super sticky so wetting and wrapping it made it soft again. Its healthy running around with its sibling following me around day 5 now i think

I kinda think it might be malpostioned since it looks like it’s trying to break through the membrane but it isn’t working. It looks ready to hatch since the membrane is all white with what looks like no blood vessels, it just looks white and dry

 

[JesusisGod]

yeah if you see no blood veins i would peel it personally, just around air sac, see if its sticky, it might start chirping

 

[JesusisGod]

i access the blood network AFter ive applied coconut oil

 

[silkiemother]

So just carefully start peeling the shell off and see if it’s trapped? And If it’s not carefully put coconut oil over the mebrane?

 

[silkiemother]

I’m seeing blood vessels through the shell but not where the air cell is

 

[JesusisGod]

yeah, peel shell. Apply coconut oil, reapply oil every 2 hours

 

[JesusisGod]

If you see blood network just leave it for a while longer

Well, if it turns out it’s not ready good thing I know how to stop a duckling from moving around and letting it finish absorbing me everything
