Nurse can you prep the table, I'm about to go into surgery..

So I went back to the pic as to when he was pulled out. I guess I should explain, the only thing we need to do is get the head out.. That's it then you lay them on there belly so they can work and push themselves out of the rest of the shell. Now with our upside downer the rules don't apply. He's basically stuck in that shell and it could take several hours or even days before he comes out. Sometimes they get sooo tired they give up.

But I went back and looked at the pic when the first one came out, I can see the green snot ball this is there first poop, however, I noticed the yellow below it, unless we have a closer look it may not be yolk, it maybe a snot ball of sticky goo which is good, however I am shocked that by pulling him out and the cord breaking off that he didn't bleed to death so the first guy is really really lucky to be alive... So since he didn't bleed to death this tells me perhaps he was absorbed but couldn't get free because the snot ball gooy stuff had him stuck in there. If that's the case, pulling him out was ok to do so however, I don't advise it for all ducks, there are ways to work around some thing like that.

But then when i looked again there's a lot of veins in the shell so he couldn't have been fully absorbed as far as his veins... , so even though he is still alive and was pulled out, he is one lucky duck. Because it's yolk first then the veins..

It really was hard to tell.. but there seemed to be a string of goo with a small blood streak through it holding him in there.. I just held onto the egg end of it with the tweezers and broke him free. He was kicking like mad and It never crossed my mind that he was supposed to stay put in the egg.

Ok let's go ahead, again just take off the first membrane so we can see those veins. Timer has begin,take your time..
