when i candle it i can see at the back of the egg some fluids move... but as for the duckling i haven't seen it move....but i understand that one sees movement until the last few days before hatching... help please
 
I am going to be honest to see fluid doesn't sound so good Not at this time but Don't give up on it since your not sure of what breed your egg came from I'd give it till at least day 38. These folks you got the egg from would they let you have a couple ducklings if the egg doesn't hatch? the reason I say a couple, ducks do better if more than one.
 
well the fluid that i saw was only a lil and it only showed if i looked at it very closely.....
also i only noticed this when i candle with the light shinning tru the air sac.... u see i see two different views i candle it with the light shining tru the air sac. then when i candle it with the light shining tur from the pointed end... i can bearly see into the egg it is very dark... which is the correct position to candle the egg tru???? i can post a picture of the light shinning tru the narrow end. the pictures that i posted were of the light shining tru the air sac..... Help please....???? is my baby duckling alive......????

Candle with light under fat end. And I wish I could tell you the duckling is alive but I really can't, I'd have to be there to see this egg and look at it with the light. really hard to judge with pics. But with the egg being very dark it could mean a duckling is in there. Now whether alive I can not say for sure.
 
ok will be posting my new candeling pic.... what type of bird is a pekins...
on the farm that i fond the egg their were several types of duck...
is there a way other than candling i can test to hear a heart beat...?

Stethoscope like Dr.s use to hear our heart beat. Pekins are large white ducks like the Aflac duck. When a duckling internally pips you will be able to hear peeping when you put the egg to your ear.
 
So i'm not quite sure if this is anything. I'm still very new to this whole incubation thing. But I found a hole in one of my eggs that was originally under a broody but now they are in my incubator. I just threw out an egg that had a crack and the same type of hole because it had died. I don't want this one to die and it's still moving in there I just candled it. But here is a picture of the hole on the egg.
is this the duckling trying to get out? Forgive as I have forgotten what that's called. Sorry the picture is a little blurry.
