Here's yet another incubation question from me lol. This whole journey is so much more intimidating than using a broody darnit
10 duck eggs in the bator, about day 4. Candled today and 7 are clearly fertile and developing, only their little blood island seems to be forming too close to the large end with the air cell, one being right into it with some of that vein circle, as opposed to what I thought was normal, which is the embryo forming more to the center of the egg. All 7 have beating hearts, and only one is really too close to that larger egg. I use my phone's flashlight to candle the eggs and I do not have a second one to take pics so I tried to illustrate the situation as best as I could. Below is a drawing which depicts how the eggs look like when candled. The egg with the question mark drawn on it is the one I said is almost in the air cell. The one on the right is how all other eggs look like, more or less.(I am aware the wording for this is probably not the best but I am so tired and confused right now that I can barely find the right words for all this).
What do you guys think? Should I be worried?
