Hello everyone my duck egg is day 27 currently and I candled it and it looks more like a day 21 its slowly growing and I’m not sure if it’s moving cause I had to hurry up and leave but I do have another egg that I already opened up and it’s bill is out but this egg is so much slower
 
Hi,

Had you set them both the same day? Assuming so, what incubator are you using as it sounds like one may have gotten more heat than the other?

Ducks take 28 days to hatch, so I'd not be interceding until after that, but maybe that's what it was.

Here's a guide to assisted hatching if you'd need it ever.

I’m not sure what the incubator is but yes I did set them the same day they are call ducks but I can take pictures when I get home of the duck egg

So I opened it up and it’s not moving I can see feathers but it’s not moving
