Hatching Muskovy duck eggs for the first time

Hello everybody! Here's an update:
The air sac is HUGE and taking up about half of the egg. The other half is a moving shadow. The duckling might've internally pipped but I'm not sure. If I gently hold the egg I can feel a tapping and if I hold it up to my ear I can hear him hard at work. I even heard him peep a little!!! I'm so excited! I think he might hatch or at least pip tomorrow. I have a good feeling about him...:ya:woot I also added an egg about 9 days ago and veins are sprouting inside. So happy!

So happy to hear this. Praying that all goes well for this little one!!! Thanks for the update!!!
 
I don't want to candle too much but I see a small yellow spot, I think it might be the bill. He has definitely penetrated the air sac, he is peeping a lot more this morning. I still hear him pecking away at the shell.
