@Erica3600 , Welcome To BYC!
I agree with Shaw, it looks like you picked some off. Don't do that, it exposes more membrane that will dry out, and causes it to bleed as yours did.
It will be ok, but don't touch it anymore. It's going to have a harder time hatching on its own now because it won't be able to twist to zip as easily.
Just don't touch it and hope it does ok.
With ducks you need to wait longer than 48 hours in most cases, they're very slow but very strong and efficient hatchers. They very rarely need help.
I only picked because I saw blood and didn’t want it to get in baby’s nose. I haven’t opened it up anymore and humidity is still good. I hope he makes it. I feel so bad! This is my first time ever hatching any eggs
