Is this day 26 duck egg dead?

Was moving around fine when I candled on day 24. Took out turner and decreased temp today and it looked like this. (Pekin)

Does it have an odor to it? That color is not a very good sign unfortunatly. Try candleing it again or floating it in warm water for signs of movement.

I haven’t because of lockdown- afraid of harming the other 2 eggs that are pretty active.

It will be fine. I’d just candle it.

So the egg is externally pipping. Definitely not what I was expecting. Fingers crossed!

They sure like to keep you guessing, glad that things are well

That's just an internal bruise I'm thinking from pipping internally...and externally..
