Hello, new here and trying to raise two ducks from hatching, but my jumbo Pekin egg is quite clear on day 25

[Kooper]

We been incubating both a jumbo Pekin and a Cayuga form eggs and it 25 days in and out Cayuga looks normal and great, lots of movement. But our Pekin is pretty clear, not fully tho, it still moves but when candling it's not filled up like a lot of things say it should... Just wondering if ,beacuse if its moving,l it could maybe still hatch?

Hi, and !

You might want to post either on the Duck forums or the Incubation ones for better responses.

My take on this is that since the Pekin are a white bird, and the Cayuga is black, you are more likely to see the Cayuga defined. If the ducklings are moving, then keep incubating.

@Canadian Wind is correct
The light coloured ducks are harder to see in the egg ( making it appear less full )
I do see veins so something is in there
Keep us posted on hatching
