PLEASE HELP

my duck is pipped on the bottom of the egg. Do I turn him over?? The air cell is in the correct position but he is pipped under the shell

I like to keep the whole up where I can see it. Let's see if we can get @Pyxis and @WVduckchick to comment. whatever you do, do *NOT* start assisting it!

I have not tried to open the shell at all. A chunk of the shell is off at the bottom of the egg. Should i quickly see if his beak is there to see if he is breathing ? I don’t want him to drown should I flip IT?

I normally flip mine. i worry about liquid sealing the hole. Give it 48 hours from external pip instead of the normal 12 since it went straight to the shell.

I flip mine.

I turned it about 90 degees is that okay? Just so it doesn’t drown

I usually turn the pip upward also. @Rose Quartz mentioned waiting 48 hours....ducks can take that long even when they do hit the air cell, so if it missed the air cell, you could be looking well into a couple days before it hatches. This one is really going to test some patience.

Oh right ducks (forgetful human here) yes ducks would take even longer.
