Duckling hasn’t internally piped yet, he’s trying but I’m VERY CONCERNED about this bruise and odd air sac. I just added more photos to thread.

Is this day 35 or 36?

I merged your two threads. Do you have pictures?

Omg! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Here is a photo from last night, (small hole) then 3 hours later it was bigger and he got his foot out, and this morning,, Almost out.
I should not have talked to him because he really started moving when he heard me and that’s when he started bleeding.
I’m going to lose my baby.

You made the safety hole less then 48 hours ago
These ducklings that miss the air cell take much longer 48-72 hours
Why was the hole so big he could push out ?
All he needed was a hole the size of a dime where his beak was so he could get air
Then he needed to be left to absorb
My duckling took 52 hours and still had a little yolk
Honestly they can’t be rushed
I know you have more hatching so please keep this in mind if it happens again.
Safety hole in middle of bruise no bigger then a sharpened pencil end
After 24 hours increase hole to size of dime so you see beak
Leave baby another 24 hours
Then make hole a bit bigger and look for veins and check if baby is still chewing. If he is leave him another 4 hours and check again
If he isn’t chewing and veins are gone then slowly pick more shell looking for veins till it’s safe to help him hatch

It looks like he's not ready and you might have peeled away too much shell.

I started this thread that shows many of my assists. I always peel the top of the shell first.

What do you think she should do now, if he's still bleeding?

What do you think she should do now, if he's still bleeding?

I would try to stop the bleeding

 

[casportpony]

I would try to stop the bleeding

How would you do that? I don't think that's possible without removing more shell, and I think removing more shell could worsen the bleeding.

I agree not to move more shell but I would check the veins in the area
She did mention he pushed his head and foot out so I’m thinking maybe he pushed a vein
Pictures of how he looks now since bleeding would help
