Shrink wrapped ducks?? What should I do?

So what we're seeing is a sticky membrane? That's what's throwing me I've never seen a membrane look like that.

Yes badly sticky

The one that passed away was solid black with a bit of yellow.. Black beak. #3 has more of a brown beak... Honestly I don't know bc I got the eggs from my uncle who has a LOT of Muscovies. I believe the male is black & white but I don't know about the female.

Of course it would happen to me.. The first timer! Lol! Lydia we both live in NC, and we have 2 mini doxies too

Hatching in a bator isn't for the faint of heart and starting out with Scovy's well that's a real test. How about that what part of NC are you in? we actually have 3 minis.

Here's #3
This little thing is trying so hard to stretch out of that hole. As soon as the water dries a bit, the blood vessels seem to look dried up at least 50% more

This guys worries me, hes really sticky and I'm afraid if he dryies up he's going to get hard as a rock, sooo lets try this, take the qtip and clear his nose, MAKE sure no stickiness is around his nose, if you can VERY VERY GENTLY and I mean GENTLY, clean underneath his membrane, There are some VEINs so you MUST GO SLOW and CAREFUL, one mistake could break those veins.

If you are NOT comfortable doing so, Then leave it, DON't Attempt it..

Wait what did I miss??? DID ONE OF THEM DIE? or are you talking about the parents??

Ahhh I'm terrified!!! Will try though.. What should I do if it bleeds? Humidity is down 59%, I just put a dish of wet paper towels in

 

[ALHmama]

Nooo not one if these... One I tried to help yesterday that was hatching from the wrong end

 

[ALHmama]

I'm in Winston Salem

For the UPSIDE DOWNER, I need you to slice where his beak is, Peal a little bit of the membrane that is attached to the shell so that you can see his pointy beak. Give him two hours, after two hours we should be OK to try and get more of his beak showing..

Apply pressure get the bleeding to stop and place him back in. But you must be extremely careful.. what we are trying to do is NOT break the veins but try and get some of that Sticky gooy stuff out from underneath him..
