Worried about duck egg; dead embryo?

[CypressFowls]

Hi folks,

I'm incubating some eggs for the first time that were abandoned (the ducks in my park look like farm breeds that have been dumped). I decided to take the eggs home with me and incubate to give them a second chance at life; they've all been doing well but I'm concerned about my oldest developing egg named Tobi. I really need a second opinion.

Tobi has been developing spectacularly, wiggling around and growing into a healthy baby. I've used a makeshift incubator with a heating pad and a misting bottle, but after getting a new one, Tobi suddenly looks like he or she has possibly developed a blood ring. Tobi had been moving for a few days, but I suddenly don't see any dancing in the egg and I don't want to candle excessively. All the other eggs are doing well, but they're 6-8 days into development while Tobi is 11-13 days.

I did my best to capture good quality photos, but has Tobi died? If needed, I can send a couple photos of how my other eggs are looking.

Thanks for your help

Sorry, but yes, looks dead.

I believe, that it is dead. I'm sorry

Alrighty, I'm sad little Tobi couldn't make it, but thanks for the quick replies (I also noticed I put this under Ducks instead of incubating eggs, whoops!).

I look forward to watching the other eggs that have been wiggling with life

Yeah, well good luck with the rest of your eggs! Send some pics!
