Sadly if between the legs could be part of the tripe of the duck. If is the intestine the duck can die after starving. Will be unable to feed itself

Keep it moist but don't try to help the duck to get rid of the shell. If is the yolk can just discard it after some hours.

Moist with what you are not supposed to put a wet paper towel on them they can chill.

I'm not sure what that is but hopefully it's the yolk. I think the best thing you can do is put it in a small Tupperware bowl on a DRY paper towel and leave it in the incubator.

Oh and

The last pic looks like a yolk sac
I would try to put baby in a smaller cup or bowl inside the bator till it’s gone
