Hatching duck eggs

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

Yeah this is the only duckling that made it this far also there was a lot of blood but idk if it’s still bleeding

Ok i can’t tell what has been absorbed from that picture. This section from @Pyxis ’s article should help you out.
“Yolk Sac Not Fully Absorbed

Your chick hatched early, or you assisted a little too soon, and the yolk was not done absorbing. Don't panic, there's an easy fix. Firstly, you need to get that chick back into the lower half of its shell, if it has come out. Tuck it gently back in there. This will protect the yolk and keep it from getting ruptured. Next, you need to keep the chick in the shell and from being able to push itself out. We accomplish this by placing the chick, shell and all, into a small cup, which will hold the shell and the chick upright, thus preventing it from getting out of the egg. I find that a disposable plastic cup works well for this. You may have to prop the egg upright by using a dry paper towel to hold it in the proper position.

If there is a lot of yolk, it may take some time for the chick to finish absorbing it. Just let it be. When it's done, it'll be really moving around and struggling to get out of the bottom of the shell.”

How much of the yolk is not absorbed? If you are able to get a picture that would be helpful to see what to do next. Is it just this one duckling that is out?

I second that. Hope the duckling does well.

That duckling seems to have absorbed most of the yolk thankfully. Prop it up in a cup while it absorbs the rest.

I couldn’t get him to stay in the shell so i it some toilet paper at the bottom to help absorb it

From your picture it appears that the yolk is mostly all absorbed. That looks like it is the naval. If you have some zinc free antibiotic ointment you can dab some on the umbilical. It should be ok as long as it didn’t lose too much blood.

I agree with this. This is good advice.
@ScuniDRasin i hope your little duckling does well.

I don’t know if I have any of that

Are there any warning signs I should look for

It’s not that it lost loads of blood it’s that it barely absorbed any before
