Duck eggs

Long story short ducks free roam and I just found there eggs.

I decided to candle them and I'm curious if this egg is bad? Should I remove all the eggs?

Are you asking is it a rotten egg? Doesn’t look rotten looks like a clear egg that hasn’t been incubated.

I was wondering why? There is a black spot In the egg that normal?

 

[cmobley]

No that’s not normal I’d have to crack that one see what’s goin on. Unless it’s a clot sometimes my hens lay eggs with small clots in them but that does look kinda big.

I did do a float test on it and it floated so I'm assuming it's bad lmao

Well a float test just gives an idea of how big the air cell is that’s why it floats. But I’d have to see what that black dot in there is.

Is a float test not accurate for good and bad eggs?

Not really it just tells you this egg has lost so much moisture inside the air cell can make it float. I’ve cracked and ate eggs that’s floated with no issues. I’ve also cracked eggs that’s floats and about vomited and cracked eggs that didn’t float and had the same thing. Best thing to do is candle them. If they look iffy through the light toss them.

How do you tell what a bad egg looks like through the candle?
