    What to do after duckling hatches

    My first duckling is on its way! He is already breaking through and making lots of noise. I just have a few questions. What do I do after he hatches? Let him be? For how long? Does he need food or water? I’m new so please explain everything I need to know and do from the time they start to hatch

    This duck egg had movement up until yesterday. I noticed this morning that there is a darker patchy area on the inside surface of the air sac area, you can see it in the pic. What does this mean? There's no movement still. :hit
