I have 2 duck eggs that pipped early and at the small end. I left them more than 24 hours with no progress so staRted to help one but could see veins and duck is yawning etc so let it alone. By the time I got to that conclusion though, the duck now has no shell around that part, where the beak is and has started to dry out. Im using coconut oil and damp tissues in incubator to keep moist and have just put small hole in air sac end to see where its at, there's a big red vein going straight thru the middle. Will have to probably assist when its time, in a few hours I think. Any advice ? Do I open from air sac or where beak is? Or won't it matter by then. Have another one in same boat, but at this staGe just a hole in wrong end, may be able to help itself once its ready
