Incubating Duck Eggs

[theycallmechickmagnet]

Hi I'm incubating duck eggs (75% Welsh Harlequin 25% Pekin)

I think eggs 1 and 2 accidentally got cooked because the incubator (auto turning) took the lid off by itself and all the humidity went away. The yolks are stuck to the egg and one got a blood ring but a day later something started developing in the middle but went away and the yolk is still growing. Eggs 3 and 4 seem to be developing right and on time. I'm just not sure about 1 and 2, all there is is a growing yolk. Is it bacteria or something?

**Not my pic but the first pic is what eggs 3 and 4 look like. And the second pic looked like egg 1, but the blood line is fading away and on both 1 and 2 the yolks just growing.

2 of the eggs I think accidentally got cooked because the incubator (auto turning) took the lid off by itself and all the humidity went away. The yolks are stuck to the egg and one got a blood ring but a day later something started developing in the middle but went away and the yolk is still growing. The next 2 eggs seem to be developing right and on time. I'm just not sure about the first two, all there is is a growing yolk. Is it bacteria or something?

Hmm... I really don’t know but I would leave them in the incubator for 1-2 day and look and see if there’s any signs of development.

It's been 1 week for them. They were all put in a day apart from one another too
