Duck eggs nearly ready to hatch within a few days.... healthy or dead?

 

[Weeg]

Do you see any veins for movement? Or do the contents of the egg slosh around when you turn it? It looks dead to me, I'm sorry.

 

[Weeg]

No veins or movement? Looks like a quitter.

 

[Weeg]

This one on the other hand could be alive. Do you see veins or movement in this egg? I think I see veins in the picture.

 

[Weeg]

Quitter.

 

[Weeg]

This one could be alive as well.
I'm not an expert though, so dont take my word for it.

Can you give us some info on your setup? What incubator? Are you using a separate calibrated thermometer and hygrometer? What day are you on? When did you put these eggs into lockdown? When was the last time you candled and saw life?

No veins or movement

No veins or movement

If theres no veins, and no movement, its likely dead. I'm sorry.

The first and second look healthy. The one in the second picture looks like it is starting an internal pip to me, does the beak move at all? You shouldn't be able to see many veins if they are close to hatching. The ones that look a bit cloudy inside towards the air pocket are probably rotten.

Your right, but the way the egg glows yellow instead of red makes me skeptical as well, all my quitters have shown yellow instead of red.
You should see some movement, even just a little. What day are you on?
