Duck egg candling: do these look fertile/healthy?

Posted at the same time, lol.

It's hard to capture veins in a picture, I know, so there may be some in that egg that we can't see well.

That is true.
@EronicaV , have your friend leave the second one in, just in case. The egg in the first pic can be pulled though.

Thanks I will let her know! I’m really hoping the second egg makes it. If they happen to both be healthy, is there a reason one might have a bigger dark dot like that than the other?

Having second thoughts on the second one. It looks like a faint blood ring at the top, but I'm not sure.

I wish I had some better pictures! When she candles next week I’ll post what she sends me

The second one does not look good.
That would be the dead embryo.

Dangit. I saw this image online yesterday that made me think it probably wasn’t a good egg, thank you guys for confirming

Yeah. I'm sorry. You sure can leave it in just in case though.
