Today is Day 25 of hatching my Pekin duck eggs. I woke up this morning with this one having a large dark spot. Is it bad? I’m just worried about it exploding. There were no smelly eggs yesterday when I bumped up the humidity for lockdown.

Same thing on one of my 9 Muscovy eggs ?!?!? I just went on lock down too! I wish you the best of luck in your hatch 
And hopefully we find an answer!

Did you candle them before lockdown? That can be bacteria forming in the egg, but it might be a little late now... I've had a few of those eggs and usually they end up dead. Hopefully that's not the case for your eggs, though! Maybe it's just the air sac showing a weird color from an angle?

So I did some research and apparently duck eggs commonly bruise so that can be a possibility as well, don't stress and just pray for the best! I'm right there with ya!

They might also look like that when they're ready to hatch
