Duckling in egg with feet over head? Is it an issue?

[TheGooseLord]

We had a female duck sit on some eggs and she abandoned them a day before they hatched. We hatched them inside and one won't come out and has it's feet over it's head? Is this normal?

Feet over head is a malposition that may require hatching assistance. This article by Pyxis has more detail about it that you may find helpful.

Best of luck!
