Fertile: yes or no?

[Quackers08]

Can someone help me out please and tell me if my egg is fertile? I'm not too sure if this is what i should be looking for...

 

[hdowden]

have you been incubating this egg?

 

[Quackers08]

been under my duck

 

[hdowden]

for how long it looks like theres a baby inside and getting close to hatching

 

[Quackers08]

ooo! 16 days today

 

[hdowden]

at 16 days if it was infertile and growing icky you would still be able to see through it and since you basicly can only see were the air cell is i would say yes you have a baby in that there egg

aww yay! So how long do you think this egg has left until it hatches? They all pretty much look the same inside the egg:

At day 16 you should (when you candle shining the light from the TOP (fat end)) see a baby moving around very easily inside the egg. Go in a dark room to look. If you can't see a defined baby floating and moving (place egg pointy end down in a carton to avoid your hand causing motion) then it is not growing.

I would be concerned it was so dark and full at day 16.

So what could be happening with my eggs? They all pretty much look like this. She rarely comes off her eggs, could this contribute to anything? Bit worried now :/

I am just suggesting you look at them better to determine where they are in development or not. The photos you shared don't show anything that have me saying yes I see a fertile egg.
