Hello. I wanted to jump in with a picture of my little one in hopes of helping each other. I just took this pic a moment ago and while mine is a chicken rather than a duck, I'm in the same boat. She had pipped early with no progress. We are on day 22 and it's been 12 hours since I assisted. I've been applying coconut oil and she's active. There was a lot of veins when I first peeled back the shell so I stopped and wrapped her in a warm paper towel. I've been monitering all night. The veins have thinned quite a bit. To the point that I think in a few hours she may be ready but I'm just going to take it very slowly.

I think so as it looks like it may be in a difficult position to zip itself which could be why it has taken so long.

I think she's getting close. i still see more veins. Maybe put her back and keep the membrane moist and check again in an hour. She's breathing. She's not in distress. Take it slow.... I'm saying this to myself as much as to you!

Then helping it was definitely the right decision. Maybe try and get the head out?
