Thank you! I have a ton of eggs from my female duck! She has laid almost 40 eggs!!!! I have a baby that I believe is in trouble and may be seeking some advice!
It attempted to make three externals pips with no hole... so I carefully made a hole from the pips... it had been close to the 24 hour mark! It hasn’t done anything since then... it looked like it was trying, but appeared not be able to reach! I removed some of the shell as it is close to 48 hours since it’s sibling has hatched! Maybe you can help??? It is breathing much better now... not a rapid pant or appearing to be gasping... can’t really tell if it is shrieked wrapped.. humidity is at 80%
