I was candling my ducks today to update everyone and ask about their age because I forgot the day (I know my bad) But when I looked at the one I call tiny dancer I saw this.

And it just doesn't look right. ..

I am not an expert at all. I candle my eggs every day and that looks like the baby in the back and the front looks like a developing blood ring. Meaning, the little babe may pass away. But I have an egg that looks odd like this, and it is still viable and doing great. We will see if it hatches next week.

Oh okay, thank you so much. I will keep it in the incubator and refrain from candling it untill monday or tuesday. This is what the other one looks like, could you help me figure out how far along they are? I don't know if its day 20 or 15, I'm quite new to this and I forget to count the days sometimes 😓

This looks like day 15 to me. What kind of ducks are they? If Muscovy ducks, could be 20 days since they take 35 days to hatch. Day 20 on a 28 day hatch you can hardly see anything. I couldn't at least and I am on day 24. Again, not an expert and this is my first-time hatching ducks myself.

Our ranch mixes our ducks so theres no exact way to tell, but they are probably some sort of muscovy mix
