Incubating Muscovy duck eggs

[Poultrylady2022]

Hey everyone, I’m trying to incubate some Muscovy eggs and I have a question. Tomorrow will mark day 7 of them being in the incubator. Some of the eggs I have started noticing veins in them, but quite a few of them do not have veins. It does look like the yolks have changed, but no veins. Does this mean they’re not viable? Or will it take a little longer for the veins to start developing since it takes longer for them to hatch? If that’s the case why do some already have veins? Sorry I know that’s a lot of questions this is my first time incubating them so I’m not really sure what to expect. Thanks in advance!

Sorry nobody saw this
Usually by day 7 with all kinds of ducks you can tell as they should get blood veins
With my regular ducks I see blood veins at day 3 and by day 5 little embryo with a heartbeat
You could post the pictures of each egg and we can try to help you if you like
You can also give them another 3-7 days to be sure but if nothing by day 10-14 chuck them

I wait for 10 days or so for duck eggs. Also remember there are dead spots in every incubator so incubation can be off when the eggs are slow to develop.
