Duck eggs on day 28 with yellow marks? Help please?!

I have 8 eggs being incubated by a hen and they are due today. I noticed 1 has internal yellow marks and 1 has grey marks? Are they dead?. I think i can hear clicking in the one with yellow marks. Do they need saved?i will upload a pic from my phone when i figure out how lol

First, I don't really call it a due date with a hen. Expected date, maybe. But depending on how much she stayed on or got off the eggs, the date can vary. So please don't rush them. Clicking is probably an internal pip, the duckling hitting the inside of the egg. Let momma do her thing, she is better equipped to take care of them.


1 of the normal eggs is pipping, and another now has lots of red at one end on the inside and is crackling

The one with the red may have hit a blood vessel when it pipped. It could very easily still hatch, as there is normally a little blood left in some inactive vessels. Unless its excessive bleeding, it should be fine.

What do you mean by crackling? A break in the shell? Zipping started? Or a crackling sound?
 
Good news! Today i woke up and i have 3 pipping, the only problem is they have made huge holes but i can still see yolk sacs attached to them?? And now they have stopped. What are they doing? And also the one from yesterday has completely hatched but its not moving, it peeps when i pick it up but its been out for 12 hours and still isnt trying to move?? Is it ok?

if the holes are big enough for you to see the yolks!!! Do you think the momma hen has pecked them?
