OK, just saw the pics. Those eggs don't look too bad to me, Stillmecle. When I had one go bad it was really quite purple over a much larger area.

I'd leave those eggs in the bator.

Like on the top to the right. (is where I'm seeing it.) But mine looks just like that and it's rocking and peckin'. And my "non-egg" has that same shadowing. So I can't put my finger on what that is.

Don't think that's an air cell - just some colour change on the shell.

#2 actually has a dark spot towards the bottom and a yellow circle beside it. Another egg has done NOTHING

Egg 1 has a dark spot almost like an x mark

Yeah, I can see the dark spot on #2 as well as the yellow circle. Personally I'd still just leave them in there, even if you have seen no action. However when you next need to open the incubator for some reason (hopefully like taking out a duckling!!!) then I'd take the opportunity to check those eggs by candling.

How are the others doing?

Holdereads (sp?) says that you are supposed to give the eggs moisture by sprinkling water on them. I'm trying this for the next hatch.

The egg with the big pip is sleeping I think, better be. The other one that was moving and I think has a small crack is pecking still. The 3rd one has Never done anything at all.
