I did not notice this dark spot this morning when I turned the eggs, but at noon it leaped out at me. Is it a rotten spot? (moscovy eggs, day 29)
***Ok, so I candled my eggs just now. This one with the dark spot is def not an air pocket. Can't see anything actually except the regular air cell and the dark chick, can't tell if it's moving or not, but that seems common at this stage.
The crazy thing is three of the eggs I can see movement in the air cell. These are muscovy ducks and it is only day 29 to 30!! One of the three looks like the duckling is well into the air cell. The other two I could see shadowy movement in and out of the pocket. They are really large air pockets.
Do you think they are hatching already anyone? Will they be all right this early???? ***
