She ended up sitting on 15 eggs for a bantam duck. Didn't realize there were that many until I candled (being nosy) last night. They don't all look as "normal" as my other duck's eggs. Not like a bloodring but just not quite normal.

So, not having the experience I am reluctant to choose what to remove. Keep only moving embryos? We're at day 12. She doesn't cover them very well and I know that means a reduced hatch rate. She is also VERY broody and cranky. I could just let it be and see what happens.

Suggestions? I would like to "try" to make this as successful as possible.
 
I would cull the ones that don't look GOOD... that way the remaining eggs will have a better chance.
