Duck eggs? Are they growing?

[obieandhisgirls]

Hi all I just put in some buff Orpington duck eggs in my incubator on Tuesday afternoon the 24. I am new to hatching duck eggs but I have hatched plenty of chicks! I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if my eggs are growing? I have a picture of one of my eggs and they all look like this so I figured I didn’t need to post all 16 of them! Thanks I’m only 15 so any pointers would be greatly appreciated these pictures are all of the same egg and it’s only day 3-4

I don't see any development, I'd definitely wait a few more days before I tossed them though.

I don’t see anything but you should wait a few more days to be sure... I don’t know much about ducks but with chickens it often doesn’t show much until day 7.

You can see on day four you really can't see much.

Better to check on day 7 when you can really see some veins. This is a day 7 egg.

Here's what a duck egg will look like if you candle from the top on day 7

Update I candled a couple today and there is still no slight show of veins or anything else just the yolk:/ i have more eggs so I will just put them in and see if they do anything thanks for the help!

Did you try cracking them open to see if they're fertile? May way to keep eggs handy at this time for eating, you don't want to keep throwing infertile ones in the incubator.

Crack a new one open and take a pic...
