If it’s not the egg turning bad could it be an internal bleed of some sort? And how many days should I give it? I usually check the eggs every other day when I top up the water because I don’t want to take the eggs out too much and cause any potential problems
just keep checking it every day and see what it looks like. It may start to look like the rest or it may be a dud. Time will tell
Alright I’ll do that - I hope it’s nothing and the duckling continues to develop even with that
you'll know one way or the other if he's growing or has stopped.Alright I’ll do that - I hope it’s nothing and the duckling continues to develop even with that
The first photo looked somewhat suspicious, but the second photo looks just fine! Do you mean the embryo? They do tend to have a rocking motion, you tend to see two darker blobs, rocking and drawing close, then stretching out-it's an odd sort of movement.
my guess is that it was a small clot type structure of blood- which seems to have now stretched out oddly! Either way, I think the duckling is fine.
Hi! Just an update, you were right, the duckling is definitely fine! It’s grown a lot already and the black vein and dot has somehow completely disappeared.
