What day are they on? What has your temps been? Have you candled them to see if they've drawn down or internal pipped yet?

I would not intervene unless it has been over 24hrs from external pip... general rule of thumb is to give 24hrs from internal pip to external pip, and 24hrs from external pip to zip... zipping shouldn't take more than an hour, but every other stage usually has a lot of wait time between the next...

I would open the bator and check it for life signs...

Gorgeous little ducky!!! Great job!! :celebrate

Glad baby is doing well! Don't worry about the coconut oil, they'll clean themselves off just fine and it won't hurt them... Go mama duck!!! :ya

:celebrate :hugs Awesome news!!!

Coconut oil is amazing, I use it on my Call ducks when they need assistance... it may go brown and dryish, but it won't contract... you're doing fine... :fl

To me, the duckling looks fine... just very not ready yet... at this point, there's really not much you can do but wait, in my opinion... it will start struggling mightily when it's ready, if there's internal damages then it just may not make it... not your fault either way... :hugs
