    Assisted hatch help needed. Wrong position

    I've been assisting one of my call ducklings that internally pipped. He's doing great. The other two eggs hadn't and as it's day 26 I was afraid they were shrink wrapped. I opened up a hole (they were shrink wrapped) and added coconut oil to soften the membrane. One of them is in the wrong...

    Assisting Call duck Hatch.

    Hello! Just after some advice on whether or not the veins in this membrane are to be left alone or if they are dead and I can move it back a bit. I don’t want to cause any unnecessary bleeding! This call duck is on day 29 now and my only (fingers crossed) survivor.
