Hello
I’m looking for help for a duckling egg that is in trouble
Earlier today we noticed the air cell had dropped and you could see baby’s back against the air cell making breathing movements but no beak to be found. There was a bruise just above the air cell
We made the safety hole in the bruise just a tiny pin hole ( treating it just like a wrong end baby ) 12 hours later this egg has bruising all over it. The air cell has dropped even further now past where we made the little hole
Baby is still breathing as we see the shadows of it on the lower side of the air cell. But still no beak to be found. We can hear him peeping and taping noises
Would the bruising be that he has got some blood veins trying to pip out ?
Anyone else have an egg with bruising all around it. Did baby hatch and live ?
I feel so helpless as I can’t do anything more as it’s not been long enough
Sorry I didn’t get a picture I will when I go back in the morning
These eggs are at the school as a class hatch
4 out of the 5 have successfully hatched in the last 24 hours.
