Quitter?

[Ducklover9878]

I'm on day 24 of incubating my shipped duck eggs. Does this egg look like it quit? I'm pretty new to hatching and have never had a quitter. I want to make sure if it is, that it's out before lockdown.

Is there any movement in it? There should be at this point.

I dont think so, but sometimes it looks like there is... I havent seen an egg do this before and don't know if I should put it in lockdown with the others or not. Also why is it turning yellow?

Im on day 22 for duck eggs, and i have the same problem. Watch VERY closley. Since is so close to lockdown, it can be hard to see movements. Sometimes yellow is the yolk... are there any viens?? btw your air cell looks just a little bit too big.

I think it is important to remember a couple things. Depending on what the egg has experienced from the time it was a follicle (or earlier), it will eventually hatch given the right environmental conditions - or it won't. IMHO, unless an egg leaks or stinks, there is no real reason to rush to remove it.
