I found an abandoned duck egg at a pond and took it home to incubate it. By some miracle it was fertilized and my duckling has fully formed and ready to hatch. Yesterday around 4 p.m. it externally pipped. Today around 6 p.m. there was still no progression. Being the first time i’ve ever hatched an egg or anything like this we were a little too excited and kept checking the egg. I believe this caused the membrane to dry up a bit because it was yellow. Everywhere I read said that a duckling with a yellow membrane needs to be assisted so that’s what i started doing. As I was assisting it started to bleed a little and so I stopped. Now my mom is so stressed that it’s going to bleed to death and I just need more experienced opinions and maybe some suggestions on what I should do from here. I know it’s still absorbing it’s yolk because it making eating motions with its beak. I will insert photos of how the egg currently looks. I have it wrapped in a warm wet cloth to keep it moist. I’m so scared that I did it all wrong and now he’s going to bleed to death. He could possibly be shrink wrapped but i’m not going to worry about that right now.
