Duck eggs only filling half of shell day day 10

[Becks007]

Hi can anyone help I have been incubating duck eggs for 10 days that were shipped out of the six, two are growing and moving alot. I've noticed with both eggs though that the veins darkness of egg stops half way through is this normal? I also think one has an air saddle. I will try and send pics later. Havent wanted to keep messing with them. Thankyou ❤

How often are you turning them? And what breed are they?
They don’t fill the entire shell until a bit later; as long as you see good veining +/- some movement if they feel so inclined, they’re good. They look fine from what I can see in the pics.

I say any development in shipped eggs is a victory. Haha.

It's normal for duck eggs.

That’s common for manual hand turning. I’d try turning them 5 times daily instead of three to even it out a bit. They should be fine.
