Help! Duck trying to hatch

[JacobDQ]

Here is a picture of our duck egg, day 30. We removed the shell after internal pipping, according to advice. The duck is moving a lot, like he is trying to get out. Do we break the membrane? We are wetting the membrane with warm water and a cotton bud.

No, he’s not ready to come out. You can see a lot of Veins and it looks like the yoke sac. Did you maybe miss count the days?

We definitely didn’t miss count the days… should we just leave him as he is then?

Leave him. Where did you get that advice on removing the top after internally pipping?

 

[FeatherTay]

Raise your humidity a little bit and apply some coconut oil to the membrane.

Yes, I would definitely leave him. What breed is he?
