Should I candle them and see?

I should add that they were pipped internally when I put them into lockdown on day 25

Not hearing chirping

Sorry, this is my first time and it's been really hard figuring out the process of hatching these baby anconas! The title says it all really. Just wondering, is this normal? Should I be worried? They were all put in at the same time. Thank you for your wisdom!

Thanks! Newbie over here!

What is the incubator you're using?

Sorry to hear this! Hugs

Did you give him the electrolytes and vitamins right away, or wait the12 hours to dry him first?

No, not really. My ducks are much farther along and the egg is pretty full of duck at this point. The darker spot is more long and narrow and I've seen it in a few eggs now. All eggs (except the quitter, which I've now taken out of the incubator) are moving and seemingly healthy so I'm no...

No, no spot before day 18 that I could see.

Hello, I've got 12 ancona duck eggs in my incubator and things have been going great until tonight, I have two eggs of concern. First, one egg has a random dark floating spot that doesn't appear to be a part of the duck. Plenty of movement from the duck, and the spot doesn't move. Any thoughts...
