Is there a way to tell what day duck eggs are on?

[Myah1011]

I ended up making a bit of a stupid mistake, recently I was testing out the new incubator I got and didn’t end up marking the duck eggs I put inside since I wasn’t actually expecting the incubator to do very well considering I got it for 100 dollars. So now I have 2 duck eggs developing and I don’t really know what day they are at so I’m not really sure about how long until lockdown. If I had to guesstimate they have been in for around 2-3 weeks (I’ll show pictures below)
The amount of eggs I originally put in the incubator was 5, 3 eggs were put in on the first day and then 2 eggs put in 1-2 days after that so the eggs that are still alive and growing are 1-2 days apart. Yes I know it was also pretty stupid doing that, this is my first time using an incubator so I ask that you don’t judge these first time things too much.
Anyways here’s the pictures of the eggs, egg 1 is the more developed egg and the first two pictures and then egg 2 is the less developed egg with the last two pictures.
If the photos are of bad quality I could try taking more.
They are a pekin x khaki Campbell mix which I’m really excited for! (If anyone has some photos of their pekin x khaki Campbell mixes or ducks in general I would love to see them since I really love ducks!)

I’d say these look closer to 2 weeks along. Thankfully, you don’t need to know exactly what day the eggs are on for lockdown. You can candle the eggs for lockdown instead (which is generally the better way to do it anyway).

In about a week from now, start candling the eggs every day until you see an internal pip - it’ll look like a triangle shape in the air cell. You can also put the egg up to your ear, tap, and listen for the baby chirping. Once you have an internal pip, you can put all the eggs into lockdown.

That 1 - 2 day difference shouldn’t matter too much. A slightly early lockdown should be okay.

Alright thank you very much I was really worried about everything but now I feel a lot better! Here’s hoping that they hatch good without any complications. I’ll probably update again once they hatch!

I feel like it’s almost time, no pip yet but when holding the eggs the eggs today I felt something moving in the egg, and when I put them down on a table I saw a bit of rocking. Super excited for ducklings, especially since I’m pretty down about one of my girls dying, Would definitely make me feel better to see some babies. Probably only 3-4 days til lockdown maybe sooner.
