A two parter for the pros

Ducks will have poor luck with any of the variety of eggs you mention from your incubator. If you pull all of the eggs from under them they will give up in a day or so and might start on a new batch which should do better with the drake in with them now.
I can't offer anything on the eggs from the incubator but would be very interested in hearing if the guineas go ahead and hatch. The short power outage wouldn't have been enough to cause a problem. Good luck

I have been turning them as stated XOXOXOXO 3 times a day faithfully, and the humidity has been about 45% to 48% refilling when it gets to 25% which is about every 3 days. I really have been going by the book, that is why I am so stumped... Fresh eggs, none really misshaped or dirty etc...

I think I will give the duck ladies a few more days with their eggs, candle again then toss them and maybe the drake will take them on some dates...

!!!! They sure are broody......

Last night after the family went to bed, I candled the whole crew, all but two are very active

... I culled the last of the iffy eggs, 2 infertile, one bloodring no embryo, so far out of like 50 eggs, I have only lost 2 to bloodrings, one to very early death, the rest that I pulled were infertile... I have about 25 swimmers left in the bator with the alien void in the eggs

..... Except the guinea eggs, which are all doing great, no alien void for them.... I did notice that when I candled that the whole sac moves with the embryo, veins and all

very scary, I am walking on egg shells, (pardon the pun) with this group!!! I will candle again next weekend

I think I should rename this post the alien eggs!
