Help! When can you start seeing Veins in Duck eggs?

[Wonder Quails]

Hello!
I've been incubating some eggs, but I'm not sure when I should exactly see the veins.
Some people seen it on day 3, and some on day 6??? I know I shouldn't
be too worried since it's day 1, but I want to get prepared.

Thanks!

It depends, and can vary, but for me I could see the blood island on day 2-3, and veining branching out on about day 4 onwards

Even if you dont see anything right away, I wouldnt give up until about day 10, as sometimes its hard to tell!

Thanks! I think I should start candling around day 5?

Or when?

That would be a good amount of time to check, you'd be unlikely to see much before that

One thing to keep in mind is that duck egg shells are thicker than chicken eggshells so it can be trickier to see early development.

I'll post candling on day 7 here!
