Pekin duck egg day 29 HELP!!! Pleaseeeeeee!!!

[Danielle2006]

Ok so i didnt notice yesterday that i was posying in a chick hatch along forum about duck egg lol so i figured id make my own thread here! I have 1 Pekin duck egg on lock down it is day 29 today it has a yellow couldy color in part of its air cell i havent heard a pipp from it or seen any movement in the last 2 days my gut feeling is that this sweet baby died anyone ever seen anything like this i have been searching for the last few hours and found nothing that looks like this really??!?!?

i edited to add that i have a still air incubator my humbity is 75% and the temp is 99 the little guy was doing great until i put it on lockdown (

the temp is 99

This is why it hasn't hatched. Your temp is low and if it's been this low all throughout incubation then you've been 2 and half degrees low the entire time. That's going to slow down your hatch a lot.

I can't really make out anything in your candling picture so I can't tell you if it died or not, but with the temp being so low I would definitely give it a few more days before assuming it didn't make it.

@Danielle2006 you had your incubator at 99˚ the whole time? What kind of incubator? I've always incubated at 99.5˚ if it's a forced air incubator, but higher if it's still air.

i have a still air little giant i have it set to 100.5 but my digital thermometer reads at 99

I have the same, but It's one of 2 that I run, and tend to use it only in the lockdown phase. I set mine to 100.5-101.5 if I do use it for the full incubation.

Maybe next time nudge that incubator temp up until your second thermometer hits 99.5? @Pyxis may be right, a little more time might be necessary.
