Egg Hatching

[livnitup347]

My duck is currently hatching. It has been for about an hour or so. The beak is sticking out and it looks like it's getting restless, so i'd like to help it out by cracking the shell a bit. Is this ok? If not, how long should I wait?

No , If it was me I would not help. If the beak is out it is okay. It may take several more hours at least. As long as the beak is out it can breath, so it should be fine.

Thank you. Also, since this morning two more of the eggs have broken through the shell a little. But one of them has blood around the hole. Is this really bad? Its still chirping
