HELP! Duck in distress ? Sticky duck?

[Sierraaelizabethh]

HELP!!! Hi!!! First time Duck Hatcher here! I had about 18 eggs in my incubator, I have 12 currently in their incubator doing wonderfully! I have 2, almost 3 beautiful babies drying out in the incubator! 5, almost 4 still in eggs. One egg has really struggling. Almost been 28 hours since he pipped but he was clearly struggling. I tried to help him out and peeled a good bit away but then hit blood and immediately stopped. Cleaned it up with a Q-tip and it stopped. Should I just leave him alone ? Or is his membrane sticky ? Help!!!

If there is still blood leave it for a few more hours.

There is no more blood, just seems like he is stuck..

Progressing .. just like stuck ..

He came out of this shell, doesn’t look right... he came out with nothing attached though .. a sac is attached to him? Do I need to let him finish absorbing? Help!

Update: the little fella is doing so good! He absorbed all his yolk! Up and walking around! Just drying off and resting a little bit more! I had all 18 babies finish hatching this morning! 100% hatch rate
