My duck eggs hatching early!?!? Did I do something wrong?

Pics
Dark, like the duckling has filled the sac, with just enough room so can see him move. I can see the beak of the other one now. I moistened the membrane with a cotton bud, and he managed to break through a little.
OH good on the other one, he looks OK, Not sure if he can actually get out on his own depends on his legs if they are all twisted up in there. but will need to give him more time.

As far as the other, I wonder if that's not a vein if it's where he's getting ready to Externally peep..

Put your ear to the egg and tap on the shell, listen for any PEEPING noise....
 
Can you get a really close pic of that bubble thing, I want to see how it's attached to him inside, I'm wondering if we can just tie it off and break it off so that he can close up and start to heal right, then we don't have to worry about all this bleeding...

Ok, the paper towel is dry, the darkness is the iodine... Getting a kid now to take the picture... Post again in just a moment

try to get as close to it as possible and clear, if you can see it, can you see how or what's holding it there? perhaps The missing cord???

We can't wet the paper towel because hell get to cold, I'm thinking we should take it out. But lets see the close up pic first..

No blood now when touched with damp paper towel

No peeping, but plenty of tapping! The external pip is approx 1cm along now! The malpostioned ones bill is opening and closing, but no peeping, not making any moves around either. How long would you leave him?
