I'm completely new to this, and honestly, I'm not even doing this as a hobby. I've gathered the info I could from the magical internet, but I still don't know quite a few things.
So first, I need some help with the lingo. Could someone explain what lockdown means?
Also, I have a mallard duck egg that I rescued. I took it from a nest about a week ago, after the mother ditched cause something took some of her eggs. It was outside alone with the other eggs , which were rotting, for about two days. It'd been there for about 3 weeks before, I think. Now I'm noticing some gray splotches on the shell and seeing veins when I candle it. What does this mean? The rest of the egg is black when candled. I don't know what's going on. Please help!!
