When should I put a safety hole in a call duck egg?

I can't see the air cell at all in that pic. Have you tried moving your light around to see if there's any angle that shows it better?

Betting that baby is Silver, then!

there is an air cell at the top where it supposed to be also, this picture doesnt show the best of how this egg actually is. When I get a chance ill take another picture
also, this isnt a new thing, this egg has always been live this since shipment

I remember you talking about one with a funky air cell.

yeah, its that one, the air sac is all really weird and really really big, it developed and it is now here

what do you think, any chance for it to make it? Like you think, if it is alive and stuff, its properly formed and not TOO small?

Honestly I'm not sure. Will be waiting patiently to find out, and hoping for the best though.

Its chirping and has internally pipped, so I hope thats a good sign, I made a safety hole yesterday, so tonight I am gonna open the hole a little bit

So, I looked at the 3 eggs, and im going to refer to them as A, D, and C, because thats how I have them numbered, they are all snowy eggs. Egg A is a just average egg, nothing to say about it except I made the safety hole yesterday, and I opened up the egg a bit and applied some moisture, and D internally pipped a little later, so im gonna widen the safety hole later, and C is the egg with the REALLY REALLY bad saddle, and its looking amazing, it has internally pipped and its chirping, it had a lot more room to grow in than I was originally aware of just by candling, and its looking healthy and it looks fine. Honestly, I thought egg C had no chance of hatching by how just absolutely destroyed that air sac was, but it is turning out ok and seems like it will turn out to be a healthy duckling! I will send pictures next time I apply moisture

so I have noticed egg D has really not been as active as I would have hoped it would be, its still alive for now, but im a little afraid we might loose that one, but the other eggs are doing great!
