Day 27 of duck eggs, need input!

[LinziAllen]

No internal pipping, two of the eggs seem very like dark, and red inside. Movement is slight but visible.

I have four. Not sure why but pretty sure two just up and died, like zero movement but still darkness and redness???

Got them from Metzer farms. Lowered the temp yesterday. I do not have a humidity meter or anything, I just sprayed them once a day and turned them like X and O style. Worked for me before. Out of 8 eggs, 6 were fertile and all moving. Then started to suddenly die off. Now I'm pretty sure only two are truly like well developed as the entire egg is dark and the bottom is red.

The third one that has movement has a large white area behind it with showy movement. Anyway yeah not sure what to do, not sure if it's normal, most people seem to have eggs hatch on day 26-27.

The ones I assume to be dead. The last one had no movement but JUST as I was doing this jerked around in the egg. Looks like the other ones I have so use it was a point of reference i guess, though the other ones i have are even darker. Each TWO pics are of one egg.

Temperature must have been a little low, I think they'll take another 3 days or so.

Thank you!

Thank you!

It's really hard to tell if duck eggs have died or not in person, let alone by pictures. So, if they are alive, I'd give them 3 more days and check again.

Day 28 :0 no internal pipping. The three that were alive days ago are still moving. Increased the temperature since yesterday. Looks like one is pushing a bit on the air sack, but it doesn't look like a beak, looks like a foot or a bum. Maybe it's just closer to the air cell now idk. I will check again at midnight :0 ty for the input and anyone else who gives advice.

Both of these images are the same egg.

The egg I thought had died, then moved, did die. I opened up the two I had that had been still for DAYS and they were perfectly formed... Just small?

The most recent one that was alive until this morning was also perfectly formed. Just had a very large yolk sac and looked like it needed another week in the egg. This egg seems to be heading the way of the others, moving alot a few days and now becoming more still :/

Not really sure what's happening. This is horrible:| but I guess I will get a better incubator and maybe more thermometers. And more eggs and try again one day.

Don't think even one will hatch. Lots of veins and liquid. Don't know if there is anything I can do, or should be doing. Thank you for any advice.

That looks alive so far. Try tapping on it and chirping and see if it moves?

The one in the image is alive, it does move inside. Just seems to be getting less wiggly as the days go on just like the ones that died.

Is there a reason you think they might be dying?
