Black Spot on Duck Egg Day 21

Did you notice anything odd left in the shell......or did you ascertain what that spot was?

The mallards all had “bruised” shells before they externally pipped and this one had a greenish spot of funk on the inside with what appeared to be dried blood. I’m thinking that it may have been where the duckling popped a vessel that clotted prior to hatching?

To tag on to this, I believe all of the eggs had some green stuff/ gunk on the inside.
 
Hooray for ducklings! :celebrate

Indeed!! :love:celebrate
