Hi friends!
I had a Swedish/Ancona duckling start to hatch a few days early. It's the moms first time and she smooshed the shell overnight. Today the baby isn't super active and I don't think the belly has closed properly. I'm syringing egg yolk and sugar water which is helping but I'm not sure what to do about the tummy aside from keep it clean/covered.
Pic attached of said open tummy. Please send your suggestions!
