Cracked egg to check fertility.. please help!

[DwayneNLiz]

yes 1st time incubating
Temp is 99.5
Humidity at 55-60%
They are upright
In a auto turner but I think I'm about to start hand turning and take the turner out
They are turning every 2 hrs as of now
And the reason I am worried is bc it has no veins in back just in front. If u turn it around back it looks empty but in front u can see veins and embryo

humidity seems too high to me, i would try to decrease it to 35-40%
calls do best on their side, this could be why one side looks empty, i had this happen to a couple of mine but they grew just fine, I hatched 5 out of the 6 call eggs i had

I'll definitely take your suggestions thanks and do u have any idea how I can get the humidity that low I've took all the water out of the incubator but it's still at 59 I also tried putting dry sponges but no luck

dry rice in the channels or charcoal

I have been incubating my remaining eggs now for 8 days now, I candled one of them today and saw a yellow yolk, nothing else to indicate fertility...when should I be able to tell if the eggs are fertile?

what kind of ducks?
they have different incubation lengths

and they say not to toss any chicken eggs until at least day 10, which depending on ducks may be more like day 15

They are mallard eggs, I am almost positive that they are not fertile but I am going to keep then in the incubator for now. None of the eggs even have an air sac, shouldn't I be able to see an air sac?

the aircell should be showing if you are day 8, i would leave them unless they stink, more than likely they are not fertile but it doesnt hurt to try

ducks usually start laying/fertile in spring (march ish) and stop laying and being fertile in the fall (oct ish) depending on amount of light and where you are

I have no idea where the eggs came from, I got them off ebay, which I will never do again. I'm in Tn..

you should check the listing and see if it had a fertility guarantee
i just had a friend have this happen with goose eggs, ebay refunded her when the seller wouldnt cooperate

Oh yeah they guarantee fertility but of course will not acknowledge my attempts to get in touch with them. I will wait for another week before I just give up hope. I candled another egg And the yolk was clear, no yellow in color, and it had bubbles next to what I assume is the yolk. Have no idea what that means, seeing little"bubbles" next to what should be the yolk...
