Something wrong with egg!!!!!!!

Ok, I will look into that!
Incubator Warehouse Egg O Meters come precalibrated, never had to mess with those.

I also order these, which are easy to calibrate.

I have 8 Indian Runners due to hatch Money, but a lot of them look so behind. I have one that is the most puzzling to me… all the eggs were set at the same time. Like, one of the eggs are piped already. View attachment 3047720View attachment 3047721
It looks extremely behind, and is probably stunted in growth. Those will not be hatching anytime soon. There's just no way they can catch up on that growth. Leave the turner on and keep incubating them.
No I don’t.
This is the problem, as others said. If you can't get the temp correct fast you're going to lose them all. Your incubator is like my old one, I had great hatches in it too, and then it went berserk and couldn't hold temp at all.
That's when I had to get a new one. It's better to just start out with a good incubator.
Does this egg yolk look big? This was the duckling that passed. I was shocked because I have never see the yolk this big. View attachment 3047894View attachment 3047896
That does look like multiple yolks to me.
And the duckling looks super behind, as others said.

Ok, thank you!
 
Sadly I have already lost 2 more ducklings, one was about to pop too. I’m feeling like a duckling killer 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Update: 3 ducklings have hatched and are doing good!! My incubator is keeping heat and is not acting up anymore. On that weird egg, it’s still alive and we are thinking maybe it’s a Muscovy…? I have a Muscovy hen who is always with the runners, I just didn’t think she was laying. If I tap the egg there is something that moves, as well as it just slightly moves by itself.
