On the fence about starting to assist...

That will depend on each duckling, but they can take as long as 72 hours from first external pip to zip, so don't be too worried. What you want to look out for is the duckling turning around in the shell, and accidentally blocking off its air supply. If you see its back pressed up against the hole, you may want to start peeling off the shell a little bit.
