Last year I noticed that 4 of the 8 eggs that my broody was incubating had yellow splotches in the air cell when I candled on day 23. I asked about it here on BYC and was told that it was just goo from the egg that got on the shell when the ducklings internally pipped. Candling again confirmed that the four with yellow splotches in the air cell had internally pipped, and the four without the splotches had not. All 8 ducklings hatched fine.

Here are a few pics I took of the air cells:

Thanks!! I seen yellow in it and have been on Google for hours lol the one with yellow is really trying to get out now. The beak keeps poking through but doesn't seem like it's unzipped enough. Hopefully before midnight or I'll be sleeping next to the incubator.
 
One hatched last night, one hatched while. I was sleeping and just woke up to one hatching of course I set my alarm and got almost no sleep lol
