HELP! IS MY DUCK EGG ALIVE?

[tiun]

Hi! I got this duck egg from the store, 4 days ago. I don't know exactly which day she was on, but maybe over 2 weeks. I candled the egg this morning but I don't see any bood veins clearly. And I think the position is quite strange. Could you guys please help to check whether she's alive? Thank you very much.
P/s: I don't have an incubator, I just placed the egg in the small soft carton box with heat lamp and water cup for humidity.

Can you see it moving?

Hi. Thanks for replying my post. I don't really see any distinct movements. As in the photo I posted, do you think it's rotten? I don't smell anything bad.

I never used to see any movememt in my eggs so it's not the end of the world. I'll tag some people who might be more useful than me!

If you move the egg (as in, twist from side to side) does the mass inside the egg move around or just stay still?

I'm pretty sure it's not alive. You would definitely be able to see some movement when you candle it at this stage of incubation

It probably (definitely) won't hatch then.
Sorry to disappoint you
