Good morning everyone-
I incubated four fertile duck eggs- two were duds. We're on day 23 of 28 and one of them is moving and looks like it should- but the other one looks a lot smaller developmentally. The temps and humidity have been steady, the turner is working. I looked for a blood ring but could not see one. The egg is definitely bigger than it was four days ago last time I candled... but no way anywhere near the other one. Is this just a lost cause or should I make preperation to incubate it for longer? Lockdown should start in a few days and I'm not sure what the change in temp/humidity will do to the egg in question- probably nothing good. Any advice or information would be appreciated!
