Help! Day 8 in Incubator and Think Something Could be Wrong!

[JennyPatty84]

Help! I have looked online but can't find any info on this! My eggs are at Day 8 in the incubator and when I candled them there is one questionable egg. The clear area is running vertically rather than it just being clear where the air sac is like. Is this a bad sign?

It's probably fine as long as you're still seeing veining and the embryo on the other side. It takes longer than eight days for the vitelline membrane to surround the whole egg so it can look like that until that happens.

My Duck eggs, some of them looked like that too.....All 10 hatched out great....



Cheers!

Thanks so much for the comments! I have great news, I candled the egg again tonight and it's looking normal and I can see movement!

What breed of duck eggs are you incubating?

I am currently doing muscovy. The first batch is in their 14th day whilst the second batch is in their 5th day.
