Hello Everyone,
I am a first timer and I am incubating 2 duck eggs. I am currently at day 19 and one of my eggs had a hairline crack that showed up a few days ago. I read some of the threads and found there were methods to help control the hairline crack. However, today I took a look and there is a dot of light color coming from the crack, but it is very small, like tinier than a lentil. There is definitely a live duck in the egg and there is no bad smell coming from the leaking egg. I did add a bit more water to the incubator to bring up the humidity level around the same time. I keep reading that the duck is dead and to toss it, but I am still seeing movement and I only have 9 more days to reach the 28 days. Should I remove the egg or should I give the egg more time?
