Duck eggs in lockdown day 26, stopped moving

[Sue S]

Hi, I have 4 duck eggs in lockdown since yesterday today is day 26, 2 were moving lastnite & the other 2 were moving this morning around 5am, now nothing. Is everything ok?????

I found close to the hatch date that the embryos don't move around a lot. It's possibly due to lack of space in the shell by that time. Try not to worry or handle the eggs too much now. If everything was o.k. until now, chances are they will be fine come hatching day. Keep us posted please!
