I think this duckling has been coming thought and moving for good 20 to 24 hours. It not making much noise but is still moving is this normal some of the shell has come off but look like the membrane is going yellow colour can some help. Should I do something?

My chicks usually seem to have some yellow on their membranes, I think that's normal. However if it seems to be struggling otherwise it may be time to help it - just make sure the blood vessels in the membrane have shut down first, or else you'll end up making it bleed - A little blood is okay, but too much and it could cause harm.
 
Okay thank you I think since I upped the humility it change to more clear colour. How long do you find it take to hatch completely out from pip

Healthy outer membranes will be white and papery with inner membranes being clear. If membranes start to dry out applying a light coat of non pain relief neosporin, Vaseline or even coconut oil will keep them moistened while you wait for the hatchling.
Ducks eggs are known to take double the amount of time to progress between the stages. While chickens are usually hatched within 24 hours give or take after the initial pip, ducks can take up to 48.
What breed duck is this?
