Rouen Eggs Moving Day 20

That just looks like the nasty goo from inside the egg. It should dry and fall off soon.

Here is a picture of duckling #1 if anyone wants to see it!

After searching again on here, maybe it's not the yolk? It's grayish goo looking and at the end of the cord.

If it’s at the end of the cord it’s the gunk from the bottom of the egg
Nothing to worry about there
So exciting you got some little ones
Go babies Go

I think our hatching is complete now! 14 in total out of the 18. Two pipped at the wrong end but still hatched totally fine on their own. One I think internally pipped and didn't get any farther without me realizing it in time and sadly didn't make it, and the other 3 seemed to have quit a couple days before lockdown. All in all I feel like everything was a success. I didn't even have much hope of having any hatch in the beginning, since this was very unplanned the eggs had been put in the fridge several days (1-2 weeks) before being incubated and I just decided to try it anyway since they were all I had left from the ducks that I lost. So I'm really happy with this outcome! Thank you all again for your advice these last few days! It was such a big help!
