Dont lose hope, it might be resting

The temp is pretty much stabilized, but I just cannot find any movement through the egg!

Is humidity good?
Yay on the temp!!

My incubator is trashy, but I have been misting constantly with relatively warm water, thanks for words of encouragement!!

More then if that, have been researching thanks, what chance do you think this little guy has of survival? Google sometimes isn’t the best for specific answers lol

Google will make you worry more than anything. I think if you keep up what youre doing, get the veining normal, mother nature will let this baby survive what incubator are you using? Still air or no? The temps are different depending on make

Forced air I believe

K thats good. I read up on google and you do mist twice daily...mark the eggs and turn 5-7 times daily. I have some screenshots which are hopefully helpful

of course we will have to guess at day 25, and i say we because i am here for you throughout the duration, and we will cross other bridges when necessary
I still am of the opinion it will NEED a friend while you brood it until you can release it

Gotcha, there are several baby ducks that can possibly be it’s friend, and omg thanks friend, your the best, also will the veins spread around the egg, no luck yet

 

[Unexpected chicken lover]

Hopefully with proper turning they will, ik its pretty important

You can't just take a duckling to the water now and then to see other ducks. It needs to grow up around other ducks or it will be lonely and won't know how to socialize.
