Please help, is this a blood ring? First time Incubating duck eggs

[MotherDucker3]

This is my first time Incubating duck eggs. I have 4 eggs and unfortunately 3 of them seem to not be progressing at all. I'm guessing they were not fertile eggs to begin with. The last one seemed to be doing well. I had candled it on day 5 and saw some good veins. I was hopeful that at least one would hatch. Today is day 7 so I candled again to see more progress and I'm worried this egg now has a blood ring. I posted a few photos, first photo is day 5, the rest are today. If someone who is experienced could tell me what they think, I would really appreciate it

Looks like normal blood vessels to me. They can be mistaken for a blood ring. I would hold on to it and recandle day 10 or 14.

With the active blood vessels, that looks more like a blood island than a blood ring to me. An egg with a blood ring is typically accompanied by signs that the developing embryo has died, like disintegrating veins (usually very dark).

I've incubated more than a few eggs and, when in doubt, I leave the "iffy" egg in until the next candling. Best of luck!

Yes, they look like normal blood vessels to me.

I would candle them again at day 10 or 11.
