HELP please xx Bruised Muscovy duck egg

[shawluvsbirds]

Still not out

Perfect!

Now.. by the looks of it it should be able to get out by itself now when it's ready.
If you get to the point you feel like it's struggling to get out and cannot, you may gently help it get its head out. At that point you should be able to see down into the egg to tell if the yolk is absorbed.
If there is no yellow yolk still on the outside of the belly then you're good to go to just lay him down and let it finish pushing himself out or to go ahead and help remove all of the shell.
Be ready though with a small bowl or cup of some kind with a dry paper towel in the bottom of it in case there is yolk still unabsorbed. You will want to keep him in that bottom part of the shell until that is fully absorbed. Prop him upright in the cup and place it back in the incubator and just wait.

I sure hope this ducky makes it after all the work you've done to save it.

@shawluvsbirds
He’s pushed himself out. But I think I can see yellow behind his leg on the side.... should I pop him in a cup? He’s just lay there at the moment xx

I can't quite tell if that is yolk or just a little poo/egg waste down in there.
But I would just leave him be the way he is now.
I'd say he will be just fine and perk up here in another hour or so.
