Urgent question

[bocapallranch]

Is it possible for a duck egg to survive if his shell got cracked and his head is out? there was a little bit of bleeding and I can clearly tell his yolk is not absorbed. The air cell was definitely drawn down to one side, so he was close to hatching but I don't know what day they were on. My friend gave me the eggs after their dog killed the mother duck. And then my power went out and I had to relocate my incubator and it got cracked/opened in the process, ugh!!! I have him just in the incubator and he's just laying there moving his head around once in a while. His head is the only thing out of the egg.

I'm really not sure. What day is he?

That's unfortunate. It doesn't seem likely that he will survive. Poor thing.

If he is moving he has a chance, just leave him alone and see what happens. Keep me updated I am interested in what happens

Thanks guys. It is very unfortunate but I just wanted to see if others have had success or not with this kind of situation.

So this video is super cheesy but its real and I thought it might help you with ideas. If they can do this I think this little guy might survive

Hoping the little baby makes it.

Unfortunately he didn't make it.

I did an "eggtopsy" and the yolk was clearly not absorbed. Can anyone tell me what day this was?
