Posting hoping for some answers as Google has been completely useless with this particular issue.
I rescued an abandoned duck egg and made an incubator, with lamp for heat, water tray under lamp and a damp cloth near egg for humidity, turning the egg around 5 times a day. All seemed to be fine to begin with, I had discernable growth at Day 4, I could see the veins and a little dot in the middle.
However at one point I did move things around a little and think the egg was too close to the lamp, it felt kind of hot, so I moved everything back to how I had it but the embryo didn't grow any further by day 6, I couldn't see any new veins, but I swear I could see the few veins already there pulsing as though they were pumping blood.
There's no blood ring and no smell, so I'm really not sure what's going on. It's day 8 now, will be candling again later.
Is this poor ducky a goner?
