When to throw out non-developing eggs

[WhiteTreeOfGondor]

At which day into incubation should I throw out non-developing eggs? They are on day 9 and I was thinking of waiting until day 14 just to be sure. But I heard if eggs are still clear at day 10 I can throw them out.

I usually say if you have clears on day 6, toss.

Are you incubating chicken or duck eggs?

if you are an expert in candling you can throw them out earlier. if you are not an expert wait for day 14. I was going to throw out fertile eggs as they looked clear to my blind eyes, lol. talking about chicken eggs.

Duck eggs.

I am not an expert, so I'll probably wait a few more days. I can tell one is definitely developing though, I saw its little heartbeat today.

Duck eggs take 28 days to hatch (depending on the breed), I believe. I’d say to wait a little longer. @Isaac 0

I started 10 duck eggs at the beginning of November and had 6 hatch. I think I threw two out around day 14, one around day 21 and one around day 30 that didn’t hatch (I was iffy on whether it would hatch when I candled them before lockdown). I just candled and if I wasn’t sure I looked online, candled again or waited a few days.
