Just the yellow membrane. Don't go overboard, just dip a q-tip in the oil and gently rub it on.

Thank you! I appreciate you!!

@MGG or others...Since he is only one in incubator, can I move him to his brooder box or wait until he is fully dry from incubator? It is hard watching him flail around in incubator on grated floor.

If you take him out while he is wet he can get too cold and die, so wait until he is fluffed up.

I take mine out only an hour or two after hatch, some do it earlier, If you wait till the duckling is completely dry he'll be in there for at least a day. As long as you move him into a draft-free, already pre-heated brooder he is not going to become hypothermic and die.
