Maybe post a different pic before you make breakfast in the morning? The yolk on the right might be, but it's not definite.

That is what I thought, I know that broken yolk was not fertilized and it was not a double yolk so the other one gave me reason to pause and see if I should collect the following eggs,...(?)
I can post another angle,..

OK,...Thanks,...well we definitely have a duck egg,....another question,..does it take a few days to candle it to see if it is fertilize, (if u don't crack it open)then I can make sure that I put it in the incubator and try to hatch it? About how many days? OR do you have to start the incubator and have it in there for a certain (?) amount of days to see if it is fertilize. Way to many females on the pond to tell who is laying them but I think it is the Pekin duck and possible a Mallard,..

They need to be in an incubator for about 7 days in order to tell if they are fertile.

X 2. Sometimes you can see a bit earlier if the egg is easy to see through, but 7 days is what I use as well.
