If the beak is moving its absorbing the yolk. It has pipped so can breathe. Go out somewhere and come back in a few hours. Watching just means you end up stressed and wound up.

It’s been 24 Hours since zipping- I’m worried it’s stuck or something!!
 
Update:
I ended up peeling some shell off around where the duckling should have zipped and it popped right out. It seems to maybe have some malformed feet and it already pooped in the shell so I’m glad I helped it a little. It did have some membrane stuck to it so I took warm water and cleaned it off. Now it’s just a waiting game to see if it can figure out how to walk on it’s strange feet...

That's nothing to worry about..The feet all look like that when first hatched. They sleep lots..
How is it doing?. It never pooped in the egg. That's the goop...It will still be absorbing the yolk.

Well it was green like their poop. It’s ok I guess. It hasn’t slept yet it just keeps waving it’s foot like crazy. I’m worried it’s going to exhaust itself. The other one hatched on it’s own super fast and it also has two weird feet. It’s not flipping out though like the other one. It is resting and it also had membrane stuck and dried to it like the one I helped hatch. I just used warm water to get it off both of them.

Any special food that they need? Tractor supply said just use chick feed.

What does the belly look like on the one kicking?..That's the one you assisted right. If you assist to early things go wrong. The green stuff in the egg is the afterbirth/ yolk sack..The first Poo will be black like with all babies..

Also find a Duckling feed...Chick starter can be used but you need to supplement with extra Vitamins..I buy Duck feed here in Canada.

Ok it’s starting to kind of unfold so I think it may be alright. It’s caed down now finally and sleeping. This chick starter feed says it’s complete for chicks, ducklings, an goslings up until 8 weeks. Should I still supplement?

A duckling's first poop is a dark green and sometimes they do poop in their shell, but it's nothing to worry about. I'll find a picture for you.
 
@Newduckies, this is what the first couple of poops look like:


This is hatching debris:
