I wouldn't put the egg with a non-broody duck. If the silkies are broody then go ahead and put it under them. Was the mother attacking the egg for sure or do you think she was trying to go after you to protect her nest and got the egg instead?

I can't! I put him in with her and she attacked him and now he bleeding again, maybe Charlie, she is a very good mother but she isn't broody should I try her?

do you have a heat lamp? maybe try putting him into a box with a bowl of water and a heat lamp, all closed up so it stays humid? I wouldn't pick at the shell any more. Hopefully you can figure something out. poor duckie.

on another note, how long is it again that Muscovy take to hatch out? My duck is sitting now, I candled eggs and we have development. Also, has anyone heard of two ducklings hatching out of one egg? She is sitting on a double yolker and both yolks are showing veining!!

probably protecting anyways I'm taking it up to my school, we have a farm there so they're going to have a look and see what they can do
 
Well good luck, I think it would be fine if you left it with the silkies. Be careful taking it anywhere, because at this point, keeping it away from heat and humidity is what will cause the most problems. Try to keep it warm.
 
Hey guys, just get back from school, the teacher I saw pulled the membrane off him and pulled him half way out of the egg and the he came out of the egg this is him now :) we are calling him lucky as one, he survived this, two he was actually suppose to be a rotten egg so yeah


Here he is, he is now staying in my room since its warm and we will be putting him back in the nest soon

You need to crank the heat in your room to 90 degrees if he's just sitting on your bed or something. Also since your teacher pulled him out too soon, he may not make it....we're all hoping for the best, I hope he's a survivor :/
 
he is still breathing and well, he is going to black and white thats for sure, checking him again in 30 mins , he is with the mumma, she started wiggling her tail when she saw him aww
