Unknown parent, veins but no visible embryo

[BelovedBirds]

Im turning it by hands

how often are you doing it?
Can you see veins looking at the egg in person? I can't see any really from the photo- Can you get another photo with them in?

really the egg should be turned 3 or 5 times a day, if you turn it 180 degrees and then another 180, it's spending very long periods of time on the same side- it isnt as much an issue now that the embryo can move, but in the early stages it makes it possible for the embryo to stick to the shell

Just rotating 180 degrees, turning it over side to side is fine, but its best to do this about 3 or 5 times a day, an uneven number so that it isnt left on the same side overnignt/long periods of time. A flicker is like a twitch or flinch, tiny little movements. Movements do get harder to see as the duckling grows, but you should still see something-- is this the only egg you're incubating? Where did you get it from?
