I can (hopefully) help. How long ago did he start to hatch? How much of the shell does he still have on him?

ETA: I saw your other thread, and saw that someone gave you some good advice, to leave the lower part of the shell on until egg yolk absorbed. I would go with that.

That's the best thing to do. They often don't survive . It doesn't hurt to try, Good luck and let us know .

Hello, Kaia, and welcome to BYC. Keep the duckling in the shell as long as possible then to a small container until the yolk is absorbed - it may be necessary to apply antibiotic ointment. Good luck. It's a tricky situation.
