Candling photos - would appreciate advice!

Date sort Score sort
I vaccinate everything I hatch against Marek's..

Virtually every area has a FB chicken page - it may just take some fiddling with the wording for it to appear in your list. If you have a Tractor Supply nearby, you likely have a swap on one Saturday or another - check with a local farmer's market as well. Most flocks have a drake/rooster and even if they don't have hatching eggs advertised, they may sell some if you ask.
 
Here's my advice:

If your duck has been sitting (not up a lot during the day and on the next all night) then shes fully committed to being broody. Give them at least 10 days. If you candle day 10 or more and they are clear, throw them out, they are no good.
You can get eggs locally or buy more, and swap out the eggs. Try not to leave the nest empty if you want to put more under her as that can discourage her and she may change her mind. You can even give her some golf balls for a few days, she won't know the difference!
