Day 40 for Muscovy eggs… are they dead?

[stinkyduckfeet]

First time incubating duck eggs! Out of 6 eggs only 1 was fertile. I candled the egg before lockdown and it was healthy and had plenty of veins. No external pipping at all and it’s day 40, should I give up on it?

Do you see any movement or any change in the egg? Did you candle it?

No I haven’t candled it yet since it’s lockdown. I’m going to candle it and update

I don’t care about lockdown if it needs help I would have candled it the day after it was meant to hatch
