HELP! Duckling egg has yellow coming out!

[Thatcher R]

Hi, my duck egg that is in the incubator has yellow stuff coming out if the shell. It looks like yolk but I’m not sure what it is. If somebody could help me out that would be great!

Ok so, I decided to open the egg up because it wasn’t moving anymore and I think he died

Im sorry for your loss

this typically happens when temperature was to hot (or cold) in the incubator. Did the others hatch okay?

Wait, did you crack the egg open?

that probably wouldnt be good, just because the chick didnt move wouldn’t necessarily mean death.

OP posted a picture in a different thread but not sure if they're referring to the same one.

Yes I opened it up and it had already passed I left the duckling in the incubator just in case.
