my duck eggs embryo

[brizianeedshelpwithducks]

My duck egg is growing and it won't move by itself it only move's when I gently shat it a bit. I am very concerned about it can someone tell me what is wrong.

What day is it on? Don't shake it at all, you might rattle it too much and break the chalzea, which would cause the baby to float openly and probably die. It is very easily broken too. There's probably nothing wrong, some embryos just don't move as much, you don't need to force them. Can you post a candling pic?

Do you see any veins in it? How long has it been in the incubator for?

That one definitely looks more developed. How long have they been in your incubator/under your broody? Or were they all put in at different times? If they went in together then that first one is definitely infertile.

I'm thinking the first is an early quitter, the second one looks maybe day 10-14 along.
