Day 23 incubation Of call duck egg, can see black spots floating in egg and no movement, has previously been fine

[MGG]

I will deffinetly candle again tomorrow evening as I want to know myself if I can spot any movement
I’m sure tonight (after looking for a good five minutes) I saw a slight twitch...which gave me abit of hope it’s still alive in there....but I’m still undecided so will have another go tomorrow
I tried to record it but we just can’t pick it up on camera...I’ve marked on the egg around the size of the air sac so I’m hoping I see slight growth in the sac which will confirm it’s still alive in there
And thank for all your help
This is a really handy site for people like myself who have no idea what we’re doing but giving it our best shot lol x

Awesome! This is what the site is for

Sooo pretty! And the birds are amazing! Gorgeous! Seriously though, I love candling. So beautiful! And thinking about the little life growing inside, so delicate, so precious. It's quite a dance, helping them through the whole process.

Thank you! I know. My thinking exactly. Delicate, precious, and yet so strong. It is amazing. Every time I candle I just think "I'm witnessing a real life miracle, right now, with my own eyes." It is the most incredible feeling.
