Not sure what to do at this point! I’m new at this!

So this little guy has made some progress on his egg but it’s been at this point (with no progress) after 24 hours. Should I assist? How long should I wait after they’ve pipped to step in and assist? By the way, this a baby Pekin duck!

I’m VERY new to this so I’m probably doing everything wrong!

She has been helpful for me in the past

Chicks can take up to 24 hours to fully emerge from the egg. I would say wait maybe another hour and if no progress is made you can find some good YouTube videos to assist in hatching best of luck!
