Help Please! Duck is bleeding while hatching

[FreelandFarm]

Thank you for the info

Here is a updated pic of the duck. He is trying to get out but he isnt talking much anymore and the membrane is turning tan.

It has been 43 hours. I wet the membrane this morning. Do i need to do anything else?

What's the humidity in your incubator?

I had the same issue with a few of my first hatches, about a week ago. The advice given to me at this stage was to keep wetting the membrane every 2hrs, eventually you will see the veins getting more faint. I would say do that until someone can walk you through the rest of the assist. Good luck with your baby!

@Lacrystol do you have any advice?

Yes get rid of that wet paper towel.

Stop pealing at him, get rid of any wet paper towels..

OK give me your settings, what is the temp and humidity at? and do you have a fan??

 

[Lacrystol]

NO, do not try to help it out any further! Its blood veins aren't done absorbing and that will definitely kill it!

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

Give me your settings and I can further help you, This duck was NOT ready to come out, but we can't dwell on that now, It's going to take a LONG time, so BE prepared. We can make this a success. I will need pics, pics, pics...and responses

But right now Tell me where your settings are at, and show me a current pic.
