My Duck Incubation Adventure - Vevor incubator

I’d appreciate feedback on these candling pictures. Thanks in advance!

It’s day 4 and I took a sneak peek and candled 6 eggs.
This looks very abnormal to me:

And this one looks great!!

I bought a Govee thermometer/hygrometer and it finally arrived. So far it looks like the temperature might be off by about 0.6 F (compared to the mercury oral thermometer) but I’m going to test it again later today. I did the salt calibration test on it overnight, and it is reading 74%, so that’s pretty good! It agrees with my incubator’s hygrometer, so I’m happy about that.

Day 10 update!

Of my original 48 eggs, I have 37 left. Most of the eggs that I removed were infertile, and a few looked a bit rotten, so probably poor egg quality.. All but one of the eggs that I removed were Indian Runners so I only have 12 left. I sure hope I get some to hatch!

I used a calibrated hygrometer and determined that my incubator’s humidity display is off by 1%. Surprisingly the temperature seems to be pretty accurate but I keep checking. So far I’m happy with this incubator
