Dark stuff floating near air cell??

[TwinArrowsFarm]

Today is day 20 my duck eggs have been incubating. I just candled and noticed one of my Pekin eggs has these weird dark clumps floating around the air cell. The duckling is still moving around. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?? I'm a little worried.

I've never anything like that before. I hope someone who did will chime in and your duckling will be o.k.

Good luck!

This was an egg I also thought was a set of twins from the very beginning. Maybe it is and one of the embryos died? I have no idea...

Might be. Keep us posted, please? I'm curious about this now.

I definitely will! I really hope the baby pulls through. I saw him moving around last night but soon I won't really be able to tell. They are almost filling up the egg now.

I saw the egg wiggling today so the baby must still be alive! It just needs to hold on one more week!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for it.

Candled tonight. Still alive and I didn't see much of the dark stuff? Such a mystery... We will see come hatch day
