I have a muscovy duck egg that is 3 days overdue. As I candled it I could see it's beak trying to break through but I'm sure my humidity was too low and it cannot break it. It's been 2 days since I first noticed the problem so today I decided to intervene. I really gave it a lot of thought before doing anything but I think since it's my fault the humidity was too long I need to at least try to help it live. Anyway, I broke open the shell at the point of the air pocket and could clearly see the inner lining was stuck to the bird (shrink wrapped). I stopped spraying for about a day and a half when my other egg hatched and the duckling was in the incubator drying, maybe that was what happened. Any advice now? It's still breathing but is very weak.
