Egg getting black spot in lockdown

Hey!

14 duck eggs in lockdown. One of the eggs had a small airsac but the rest are normal. The one with a small airsac is now developing a black spot. I candled all the eggs prior to lockdown and did see some movement in the fluid of this egg although no pressing/poking on the membrane like the rest of the eggs had.

One egg has externally pipped. It's the smallest pip... Almost unnoticeable. Should I pull the egg that's getting the black spot? I have the Nurture Right 360 and I'm confident I can open the lid a crack and pull it.

Do you think it's rotting? Will it hatch with such a small airsac? I don't want to pull it if it has a chance of being ok.

Wondering what happened with all your eggs, especially the one with a spot. I have 10 duck eggs in lockdown right now!
