Day 10 for these mixed breed duck eggs. All 7 are coming along. Lots of movement by the embryos. Vascular development looking good. Here's a pic from last night.

I'm supposed to wait until Saturday (day 7) to candle my eggs, but I'm really eager to see these eggs develop so I did one of mine last night. I saw veins and growth! I wasn't sure I'd see anything since the shells are brown but they were definitely there!
I'll probably leave that egg alone when I go candle the others on Saturday, but now I know at least one of my eggs are fertile and developing!

I’m with ya!! I want to candle so bad but it’s hard to see through my darker olive eggs. But I did candle 2 of my lighter olive eggs and saw veins too!! On Day 7 I will be weighing mine. I’m pretty sure they’re all fertile but just to be sure I will be candling on day 7 for that.

I've got two dark brown eggs which I'm thinking I probably won't see much on. I can't imagine with olive eggs (I heard they're actually harder to see through). I probably should have weighed them but I just sort of numbered them and stuck them in the incubator instead. Won't really know what we have until they hatch, but it sure is exciting to see them develop.
