day 27 duck eggs

[Emily Colwell]

Hi I'm a new duck hatcher so I have a 26 17ish day old duck eggs I looked yesterday and saw veins and it was very dark I couldn't see any movement from the egg or anything. IS that supposed to be like that? I looked for movement but I literally cant see any movement and am very worried as I have already lost 3 duck eggs due to the weather and cracks.PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS OKAY

Hi Emily, welcome to BYC. I'll leave answers concerning duck eggs to someone else. I've never hatched ducks. Good luck with your hatch!

Hiya, Emily, and welcome to BYC!!

I only hatched duck eggs once and never could see a thing. Hopefully one of our duck eggs experts will pop in.

I do hatch a ton of chicken eggs though and days before they are ready to hatch most times I don't see much, if any, movement. I suppose because there's not much room.

Emily I'm not sure with duck eggs as I've only hatched chicken eggs. This I do know is that they take longer to hatch than chickens and if just may not be time for the to hatch. I recommend that you post in the duck thread here and ask about the schedule of duck development: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/ducks.42/
