Question about my duck and her nest.

Hmmm, those pics are not looking good.
But you can leave them in the incubator a bit longer.
I assume you are laying them down in the incubator? Just roll each egg, a half roll each time.

Some folks mark an X on one side, an O on the other.

Yea my thoughts were too they didn’t look good either. Two have more veining but there’s a lot of darkness. Also looks like blood inside but not sure. I’m going to still keep them in there. If they aren’t good I figure doesn’t hurt keeping them in longer to see.

And she’s a blue Swedish.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Good chance she'll try again, try keeping some fake eggs in a safe private place and see if she takes the bait and lays there.

 

[chickens really]

She should possibly retry again later on this spring...Best wishes...

 

[chickens really]

Ducks are nothing like Chickens so fake eggs are pointless to them. They either set to hatch or don't and moving a nesting Duck is impossible. They will not set once moved. Not Chickens...

These are pics of my eggs. Want to make sure they indeed are no good. She’s not laying on them just next to them and before I pull them I want to be sure that’s the right thing to do.

I don’t have any others to compare too. Now if she was sitting on them and the embryo started to grow then she stopped but there’s still some sorta life would they really continue to grow again being put in heat?
I have an incubator but haven’t used it before for poultry eggs. Used it for reptile eggs. I thought maybe Incase if a really really slim chance something still has life maybe I stick the eggs in there for a few days and see if any changes. I’m not expecting there will be but there isn’t that distinctive red circle meaning they have died.

I'll let @WVduckchick rec on this since I don't use bators. Might be worth a chance though. Lets see what she says.
