Egg number 2. Age is 30 days about 5 hours.

This duck egg was found in the nest they had dug on my clay soil. Not sure if that's important or not, but it's because of the very minor discoloration on the outside of the shell. Inside the shell, I regretfully ruptured the membrane again while peeling the outside off. But no pressure. No shrink wrapping either.

Interior presents recognizable poultry, with clearly formed beak oriented towards air sac. Looks like the yellow egg sack is still attached, Wings appear well-formed I think and feathered. Less certain about the feet

Do you know what day it died on?

I don't, unfortunately. My candling light is not very bright (better now) and this being my first time, I didn't know what to look for. I could never make out movement in any of the shells.
