I just had this same thing happen with my duckling on thursday. It was a night mare. It was born breach. Actually pipped from the entire wrong end of egg AND his leg over head AND the yolk was not absorbed. I am still sick over it...
When you say coconut oil, does that mean that thick white paste you can buy or an actual oil? Or can that paste be heated and melt (not sure if it does that)
Poor thingDid she look correctly positioned in the egg?
Just for future reference, avoid a wet paper towel, as that can chill chicks. Instead just keep the membrane moist with coconut oil or bacitracin like it says in that article I posted earlier.
