Black Bellied Whistling Duck egg found

[PipSqueakinFL]

June 15, Day 24
Movement still seen, but duck egg has changed. I read that this is normal as maybe it’s because the duck is getting bigger and less room in there

If you know anything about ducks, your help is greatly appreciated. I’m laying it out like this in case this helps my case

I know absolutely nothing, but know folks that do!

June 17-19, Days 26-28
Lockdown began. Didn’t turn egg anymore and brought humidity up to 65-70% as I read to do. I didn’t handle or candle at this time.

We’ve kept humidity up and have been looking for pipping. Nothing happened. We thought because it was not in with its mama, maybe the temps weren’t perfect or we did something wrong. We did read that it can take a little longer if temps are a little lower. Black-bellied Whistling Ducks typically take 28 days. Keeping fingers crossed. Have all supplies ready.

Nothing is happening. I’m so scared I did something wrong. Here is a candling done a little while ago. I don’t see any movement. I VERY GENTLY rotated the egg and there seemed to be a little fluid move my towards the bottom of the duck area. I don’t know what to do. Please help, as I would hate to have it struggle and I’m waiting doing nothing. Thank you in advance for any advice.

I’ve hatched nothing but plans, and those generally don’t go well
I hope someone hops on soon to help!

I’m really sorry, but this egg does not look alive to me anymore.. I think it’s been gone for awhile now

I’m so sorry but the day 24 pictures show the baby was dead then.
