Is this a normal sized embryo?

Both eggs aircells look like this.

It is possible that they’re yellow, they’re 3/4 pekin and 1/4 welsh harlequin. Or they could be multicolored.

I’m assuming one parent was white and the other snowy? If one was snowy are they golden or silver snowy?

If one parent is white and the other golden snowy then you will have sex linked ducklings with the females being chocolate mallard and the males regular mallard coloring. If one parent is silver snowy and the other white then both male and female will be regular mallard color.

One parent is a white pekin and the other is a 1/2 pekin and 1/2 welsh harlequin (she looks just like a female full blooded welsh harlequin)

Yes, not saddled, but likely dead. I’ve had eggs like this at lockdown and they never hatch. Healthy embryos take up the entire eggshell except the air cell. I equate this to embryo death, but I could be wrong. Just my experience that eggs like this don’t hatch.

I thought so too, but they are kicking just as much as the other eggs in the batch. I suppose I’ll just have to wait and see

Hey all, so far everything is fine, two ducklings are starting to pop, and surprise surprise they are the very ones I was worried about!
