I saw an egg on the ground and it's opened by a different duck. It stole the egg from the mother when she went out to drink. I removed some of it's shell and saw it still has the yolk so i didnt continue to remove the shell. I covered the egg will a very thin cellophane so it wont get dry. I dont have incubator . This is my 2nd case. The first one is stronger ..i removed the shell it has a small but a little hard yellow yolk sack but i died after a day...
Now i dont know what to do with my 2nd case. It's younger than my first case

Is it still alive?
 
You should put the alive one in a box with a heating source. I wouldn't have removed the shell but it is more imp now to keep it warm. Styrofoam box with a simple bulb and a thermometer or temp sensor will work very well. We can only hope that it absorbs the yolk. If it is unable to do so the chances of its survival are very slim.Keep us updated and good luck. Lets be positive and hope the baby survives. 🙂

Glad to hear things are going well. 😃
24-28 C is quite low for it. Try to maintain the temp at around 37 C in the box and don't forget to keep a bowl of water in the box for humidity.
