Hi, I’ve posted a couple of times about my call duck egg
We’re now on day 30
After candling I didn’t see any movement and presume it had died
Today I have opened air cell
I could see membranes and see they looked quite tight around the duck, I presumed he had suffocated
Removed some of the membranes and the duck moved
But the problem is he’s upside down
I can see his bum (bottom of yolk sac) and back of legs
I had abit of bleeding from membranes so put him back in incubator wrapped in warm wet cotton wool to keep him wet and keep humidty up
Now I’ve no idea what to do
I don’t know how he will get out of egg if he’s so tightly upside down?
The air sac is now fully open and so is some membranes so technically he could push himself out
But can ducks get out of eggs backwards?
Please help
I feel like I’m running out of time to help now and might have made it worse by opening egg
With it being 4 days late and no movement I thought it had did.
