im hatching call ducks one of them pipped and halfway zipped hours ago..... no further progress i have hatched many ducklings and they almost always hatch 15-30 min after zipping.. there is lots of movement and peeping but no further progress please tell me what to do do i need to assist??:confused:
 
If it zipped, it's ready to hatch. You won't harm it by popping off the top shell. But if you have other pipped eggs, you may cause further problems by opening the incubator. Personally, I'd grab it out real quick, take off the top, and put it back in. Others would not. I've had them turn a bad way and suffocate while zipping. It's up to you.
