Hatching ducklings! Help

[Smiller1090]

I have one duckling almost our of he she’ll but some of the shell is stuck to it and some feathers are stuck to its beak! It is covered in an amber colored goo that is almost of a glue consistency! He is stuck and I don’t know how or if I can help him! What do I do?

Hi! Thanks for the tag, Altona. Can you get him out and take pics? What is your humidity at? Is this the only duckling? I'm guessing your temp was too low. That would cause the goo. You may have to give him a little bath if it's bad enough. Clean him up as good as you can, try to be very gentle. A warm wet toothbrush or rag can work really good.
