This is the other egg i was wondering about. there's a demarkation where it looks like it might have had an air sac, but it doesn't look hollow like the other eggs, it looks like there's liquid in there? not sure if that even makes sense! it doesn't smell or anything, so i guess it won't hurt...

I'm trying to incubate runner ducks and am having no luck. i have some eggs that have air sacs that are too small for the age of the eggs and was wondering if any people who are successful at correcting this problem could have a look at my post about the eggs and give me some feedback or advice...
