help with my duck eggs

[Heidisgran]

I bought them from someone who was already incubating them...I've never incubated eggs before...anyway 2 were infected it was obvious but the remaining 10 seem to be at various stages...at least 2 look like they could be on they're last week...my only education is trying to research on line...there is a good air sack and lots of duckling but I don't see movement or veins....the color of the inside seems good from what I read...anyone have any input to help my nerves? lol

Here's some duck egg candling pics that you can look at for comparison:

Good luck with your hatch!

It's difficult without having seen the eggs, to tell you what you can and should do, but if you are interested in research and don't mind reading why don't you go through this thread:

It's a looooong thread, I know! But when I started hatching ducks I looked through there and found some great advice.

thanks so much...anything to get some education...by the way today I'm pretty sure I saw a little quivering along the edge of the darkest area!
