Upside down hatchling

So I have a couple mix breed duck eggs, with the dad being a blue Swedish, that I set to incubate about 28 days ago and last night I noticed that one of my lil ducklings is pipping upside down and that her head is pointed down towards the bottom of the shell. As soon as I noticed I carefully chipped away where she was attempting to pip and made her a little airhole so she wouldn’t suffocate. I’m pretty sure her feet are in the air cell because I do something moving in there but it isn’t her head. I think she may be a little big for her egg and I was wondering if I would have to step in and help? I know a similar thread is being discussed but I’m not seeing any of them like what I’m dealing with. I’m not the most experienced breeder so any advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated

I rolled her up because she pipped on the bottom where the egg was on the ground. I don’t know if you can tell but her head is pointed towards the bottom of the shell instead of in the air cell like she should be
