Dark dots on duck eggs

[brianna-maeve]

I’m new to raising duck eggs after I noticed after a couple days the mother duck stopped coming back, so I started incubating the duck eggs and with my research I think they are at 22 days but recently I noticed dark dots and I’m worried that it might be bad for the ducklings or if they are even alive.
If someone could respond I would really appreciate it!

You need to candle the eggs. Shining a light in the fat side of the egg and look for veins and movement.

I’ve done candling already but all I can see is the air sack and a little bit of the veins.

Can you see any movement? Sometimes you can't when they're that far along. Do any stink really bad?

I think I saw some movement a day ago and I haven’t noticed any smell

Then I'd just proceed as normal. Lockdown day 25, hatch day day 28. I hope they hatch for you!

Ok thank you so much! So I shouldn’t be worried about the black dots?

I don't think so, what's bad is oozing.

Yeah no oozing, thanks
