I found two duck eggs (long story but they were abandoned and not left alone for more than 24 hours) that I am trying to care for and hopefully hatch. I did some research online and I am taking care for them as best as I can without an incubator. At first both eggs seemed to be doing well. Yesterday was the 5th day that they have been in my care and 1 of the eggs started to become gradually stained. When I candle the egg it almost seems as though the fetus has detached from the shell. The egg is now about 90% stained and when I turn the egg the mass inside pretty much swishes around. Is it dead? The other is doing well (i think) but is not stained at all. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. I have a question.

It is a good sign if they are moving inside. When you candle near to the hatching date you will see the chick moves it's head away from the light. It won't be long before the eggs start to pip. You need to make sure that you stop egg turning a few days before the hatch date and that the humidity levels are increased just before hatching. The hatching process can take a few hours or a couple of days and sometimes eggs hatch later than you expect. I hope that this information is useful to you Leanne. Let me know how you get on and if you have anymore specific questions related to the type of eggs they are then let me know. Kind regards Sara @ farmingfriends Hi leanne,
