My call ducks recently passed the 28th mark of incubation. I researched a lot on the internet about call duck hatching, and I have read on multiple sites that you should always assist call ducks because if their difficulties to break the egg. And today i decided to help them with assisted hatching. The problem is that the yolk looks nothing like the sources i have used (mainly used this one https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/guide-to-assisted-hatching-for-all-poultry.72886/ ). And now i am scared that I have done something wrong and i am clueless what to do. Here is a picture of it if it helps

Is this baby still alive?

Do you have at least one calibrated thermometer in your incubator?
What were you keeping the humidity level at?

I believe the baby is still alive,
I keep the incubator at 37.2 C (about 99 Fahrenheit)
and the humidity level at 60-65%
 
The exposed membrane needs to be moistened with some coconut oil or Vaseline, so it won’t dry out. It should also reveal if there are any active veins, which I can’t see in the original pic. Can you tell where the beak is located? Did it break through the membrane?
