Hey there,
I’ve got 2 duck eggs in my incubator, day 26. They both pipped yesterday (day 25) and where making noise and moving. One of the eggs developed a dark spot over night near the spot it pipped. Looks like a blood ring or something. Since this I have seen it move, but not as much as it did before. I’ll include a picture. Can anyone tell me what is going on? Never hatched duck eggs before. Thanks in advance!!

Update: The other egg is still going strong, moving, making noise and just pipped a little more. No movement anymore in the egg with the dark spot. Did the duckling die?
