The outer membrane under the bit of shell with the brown spots is turning yellow.

I vote help it along.......

i would take the rest of the shell off the AC section, and keep the membrane moist with coconut oil, i dont see any veins BUT watch for YAWNING, if it is YAWNING it is still absorbing the yolk and needs more time

Next time try being a bit more patient. I give them a lot of time before I help and it usually works well with nice healthy hatch lings


I hope you get more to hatch!

 

[WVduckchick]

Sorry, I've been offline all afternoon! How's it going now?? @Meg Muir

 

[Meg Muir]

A long night of dampening membrane and now this. He is giving it a real go! @ronott1 how much time is enough? The 2nd and 3rd egg aren't showing signs and it's been approx 60hrs and 36hrs respectively. They are just chilling in the air cells.

 

[Meg Muir]

He is getting there slowly but surely.

 

[DwayneNLiz]

wet gooey chick generally means it did not lose enough moisture
sometimes misting/sponging before lockdown can help with that, also maybe getting a fan in your bator

congratss on the new baby!!

 

[Meg Muir]

@DwayneNLiz thanks will go get a fan and work on the bator once all the ducklings are out and in the brooder. I don't plan on incubating unless it's an absolute emergency.
