First time duck eggs, is everything ok so far?

[Ellie89]

So this summer after some thought we decided to hatch duck eggs, we got them online , they survived the transport completely. No broken eggs no cracks. I candles before and after I started incubation. and they had time to set before I candles. How do they look so far. First pic is after settle and second is day after incubation started. I won’t be candling again until friday

There are 14 total this is the same egg different side. Didn’t realize I had rotated it

The egg looks as it should, but too soon to see any development. Come Friday you should be able to see that the embryos are developing; veining should be very visible.
Candling from the side allows viewers to see the air cell as well as the embryo. Any eggs that are clear (no veins) on Friday should be discarded as they will decay and in time can explode making a horrid mess.

Thanks for your response. Hopefully Friday we have some veins. I have 14 Cayuga eggs. Pretty excited for the end result

Update we have life!!!!! 13 of the eggs look like the first 4 pics. The last photo it’s hard to see but it has a tiny red dot in the middle of the yolk. To me it looks like it’s on day two. Very far behind compared to the others.
