Hi all , I’m new to this and also very new to incubating eggs , I’m currently at day 19 of incubation with my Indian runners , only have the 2 eggs as those were the “successful” ones. I’ve been keeping an close eye on the progress by candling and all seemed to be well , apart from today things are abit “on the quiet” side as the embryo doesn’t seem to be moving now it was active yesterday and today nothing , I feel abit disheartend by it , I’ve read that the ducklings don’t always move about they sleep time to time , could any one give me any advice as to the blood vessels and what they should be looking like at this stage please , I’ve attached a pic of one of the eggs . Thanks you

Welcome to BYC. I am not a good authority on hatching eggs, especially with ducks. Hopefully others will chime in, such as @chickens really, @Miss Lydia , and others. Good luck with your hatch.

I don't know what a duck egg should look like
Maybe someone like @iluvsedward @Pyxis or others can chime in.

Hmmm? It's easier to see if you Candle the egg on its side and directly into the fat end in a dark room.

Are the blood vessels nice and red?

They seem more of a deep purple rather than a red but I can’t see a great deal as a majority is just shadowed “black” I just can’t see any movement at all I attached a pic so you can see the egg

I seen the picture but not clearly. If it's dead it will slosh around and not flicker

 

[chickens really]

How do you have them in the incubator?

Their on a tilt as I had 6 to start with but ended up with 2, I’ve attached another pic so you can see , it’s the best quality I can manage at the moment
