Keep the membranes moist, with either Triple Antibiotic ointment, or coconut oil?

The duckling may not make it, so be prepared?

Inspect the rest of the shell for any bruise looking spots. If it’s malpositioned, it may have tried to pip outside of the air cell, which sometimes results in a bruise spot.

I see what could be an eye and bill in the pic, but hard to be sure. Sometimes you can feel the hardness of the bill with your finger gently on the membrane. Having movement is a good sign, but since it didn’t pip on its own, it’s going to be a struggle. Good luck!

What I thought was his bill ended up being his leg so I have no idea where he is. I’m about to go check on him tho

Coconut oil needs reapplication, so if it starts drying out, & add more.

So, you're using separate calibrated thermometers, & hygrometers?
