Dead Eggs? Blood Ring? Or am I just worrying too much?

I have two duck eggs in the incubator right now, they're supposed to hatch on the 26th, I think I put them in on 3/29? I just candled them and it looks like they have somewhat of a blood ring. I've never incubated ducks, only chickens, but I've also never lost an egg besides those that weren't fertile. They both look the same, ill post pictures below of the two different eggs. They're in the same incubator as the Pheasants, chicken, and quail eggs. I have 3 incubators constantly going and use a seperate one to hatch. I candle the eggs a few times a week.

this is the first egg. It looks like both embryos are still moving around.

this is the second egg. All of my other eggs are doing just fine.
 
They both have what looks like good strong veins going. I would say they are still going strong. I see the shadowing that would make you concerned though. But as long as those veins remain really defined and red I would let them contInue. Just keep an eye on them if you think they are quitting on you. But the usually surprise you.
