What should I do?! I thought this egg was dead but its not.

My suggestion is to create a new post for this fresh incubation. We would like to follow the journey! Ducklings are super adorable!

Ok, I started a new post, let's see how they do!

I am really, REALLY new to all of this but through my extensive hours of research I’m led to believe you keep this guy in the incubator and gently moisten the visible membrane using a sterile cotton pad and either sterile water or coconut oil. You have to do this regularly to stop the membrane drying out.

I’m hoping a more experienced person can perhaps confirm what I am saying before you give it a go!
