Day 22 call duck egg is it alive still!?!?

[Brianna245]

I have this very precious call duck egg that is on day 22 of incubation, and it has caused me so much stress already . I have been candling it probably too much, but.. 4 days ago on day 18 I candled it and it was moving around like crazy! I couldn’t help myself and I checked it today and ZERO moment. I couldn’t really see any veins only a big black mass filling 3/4 of the egg, I assumed it was over for poor little egg but after staring for 5 minutes unmoving I think I saw slight movement by the air sack. Could it be a trick of my eyes, or could it still be Alive? I tried to get some pictures, but it was giving me trouble. Let me know what you think, it’s driving me wild! It’s made it this far, only a few more days to go

Duck eggs are weird, sometimes they look fine but aren't and sometimes they look like they quit but didn't. I'd just leave it in until day 30 and then toss it if it doesn't hatch by then.
