Need advice from an experienced duck/goose person ASAP! Possible shrink wrap?

[Amanda39]

Hello all, I'm a bit worried! My duck hatched this morning about 6:00am, at that time my goose egg had pipped externally, but not broken through. When I came back from putting the duckling in the brooder, my goose egg, had broken a big hole in it's shell. This was at about 8am. Well, it's now 10:30 pm and there has been no change in the goose. It's peeping still, but getting a bit quieter. I have not opened the lid sinceremoving the duckling BEFORE the external pip, but I think he might be shrink wrapped. Humidity is at 75%.

Here is a video, I'm really not sure what to do? Help, or leave? His breathing seams lazy and there are pauses it seems. Please help!

I'm posting in the duck forum as you have all been so helpful before with my duck, and there are way more people on tonight than Goose forum!

Any advice is appreciated!

I would like to give it until tomorrow, a good 24 hours from external pip. It's got fresh air, and it's got it's yolk to feed it. But, I have noticed the breathing is a bit, abnormal.

Oh Crap! Well, I just checked on it again, it's been almost an hour. Now, the butt is at the opening! It turned it'sself around to the small end! Now what?

This goose needs a GPS!

Oh, wow. I would be tempted to make a little safe hole in the other end, but I am not a hatcher.

 

[Amanda39]

I'm afraid to touch it! It's still peeping!

I am trying to think of a hatcher in Oz. . . .

@duckyfromoz may be able to help you. She uses an incubator for runners.

I was told I have a Pekin duck. I'm using this incubator.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00303XAHO/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think it's ok!!! WOW, this bird has done nothing for 14 hours and has turned around completely and it's zipping and peeping!! So glad I never touched it!
