Please help-yellow pip/small side of egg

[mamaof2wi]

We had to help a duck hatch because it was making no progress. The membrane was yellow and pip on wrong side of egg. The baby is alive and a total wild child knocking eggs. I now see a pip that again is yellow and small side of the egg . Should I assist again? No idea how long pip has been there as again the baby is moving them all over.

I think when the shell looks bruised like that it in need of assistance. No sure though. Maybe someone with more experience will chime in soon.

Waited until this morning and no progress was made. I helped one out and the other one must have passed away during the night .

Congrats on your one one that made it. Hugs for the one that didn't. The When to assist is alway a hard one.

12 ducklings out of 15 eggs (pic is missing 4 as they are still in incubator)!! Had to assist In a lot of them. Not sure what I did wrong..if I ever hatch again I’ll have to figure that out. Now I have way to many ducks . Thanks for asking!
