Damaged air cell, are my ducklings alive?

[goldfishcracker]

Hey, im new to candling eggs as it is the first time my runner duck is broody! Im not sure how long shes been sitting on them now, my closest guess is at least 10 days.

I used my phones flashlight, i could see an air cell on every egg and they all looked healthy (wasnt detached) except for one, it wasnt detached but it was as if it had a few cracks around it. Will my duckling survive?

Also, when i candle eggs i can only really see the air cell, only on one egg i saw the veins but for the rest of them the light doesnt seem to shine through the egg, its just dark. Im not sure what this means and im quite worried

Thanks for reading, all help is appreciated!

I Wouldn't Really Worry About The Eggs Quite Yet. If The Eggs Were Not Shipped The Aircells Should Be Fine. Give The Eggs Another Week Or So Then With A Strong Candler Or Flashlight Check Them Again...
