Small egg in yard???

[Weeg]

It really doesn't look like anything is in there. Are you seeing veins or movement at all? If theres no veins, its likely not alive. If you want to crack it you'll have to pull it before it rots.

I still so no yolk, no veins and no wild bird egg.

This looks very very very much like a duck fairy egg.

Breeding season for the birds/reptiles/amphibians (and whatever turtles are) people have listed hasn't started yet.
The ducks have access to the area the egg was found.

I think it's a reptile egg from last year's breeding season, that either never developed, or the nest was predated, and this egg was carried off.

I agree, this egg looks exactly like a yolkless Muscovy egg.

most reptile eggs dont have hard shells like bird eggs. Looks more like a bird egg to me... But I dont know a ton about reptiles

Yes, it has been in the incubator for 1 week, and there is a black dot with some dark around it. Idk if that means it is live or not.

black dot? Not any sign of red or veins? What about the yolk? I'd be so interested to see a photo of the egg being candled! Might help us figure it out

Any updates?

 

[Miss Cheep]

Sorry for the late update guys! But I was candling it again and...
Is that a tiny air sac in the second pic!?

 

[Weeg]

I was thinking that the whole right side of the egg looks like the air sack, but I'm not sure.
It does't look like anything is happening in there. Even infertile eggs get air sacks.
I don't see any veins. Very unlikely that theres life in there. I'd say crack it.

I took the egg out of the incubator today to candle it, and the yolk is frozen!? When I turned it, I heard a sound that sounded like there were little pieces of gravel in it. I candled it and saw some little pieces!? What in the heck is this!? I will break it open later today and post pics.
