So last night i candled the eggs due to not seeing any movement and them also being overdue, i noticed one in particular was pecking away into the air sack and so i put it back into the incubator wen i did this i could then hear it chirping away, does that mean it had pipped internally? so this morning i could still hear it and was able to candle it from the outside of the incubator where i could still see it pecking at the correct end in the air sack, i have now just got home this evening to find a crack the wrong side??? on closer inspection i don't believe i can see a beak but i can see slight yellow feathering so im slightly confused as to whats happening and what to do? any advice would be much appreciated this is my first duck hatch i have previously done chickens.
Also just for information they are khaki cambells

Thank you
 
Pics would help determine what is going on... any chance it rolled around and was cracked that way? Could you see a bill in the air cell during previous candling?
