Help with duck egg

[meganelizabeth0]

So I found this duck egg all alone near a pond, and there was no sign of the mother so I took it gone to incubate. I’ve been incubating for about 11 days now and since it’s my first time I’m not sure if the embryo is still alive. Any thoughts?

It looks dead to me because of no clear distinct veins, but let's see what @MGG will say.

Dead. It just so happens I have some duck eggs that are on day 11 so Ive provided you a picture, still a lot of light but should be clear enough for you to see the differences.

It's not dead, it just never developed. Sorry about your egg though!
