basically i’ve been incubating ducks eggs for a while and started to notice that multiple air sacs seem to be developing aswell as the normal one i am sure this is a bad sign but just want to make sure before i stop incubation. it’s hard to see on the pictures but that’s what it looks like when being candled.

From what I can tell from your pics, it looks perfectly normal to me.
oh so it’s normal to have multiple air sacs it’s just that i couldn’t find anything online, ok thank youu i’ll leave them in incubation
 
Sorry, I don’t see multiple air sacs. It looks to me like the normal air cell, and some other clear fluid areas that just haven’t been incorporated into the vein system yet. Eventually it should fill the whole egg, but it takes a couple weeks to get there.
But I could be seeing things totally wrong. :hu

these pictures are more clear but a few days ago they only had one while the rest of the egg was dark with a few veins

Were these eggs shipped to you? The air cell looks saddled to me, like happens often times with shipped eggs. Sometimes they can cause problems hatching, but many times, they hatch without issue.
