I've hatched quite a few eggs but never in all my life have I seen mold (?) growing in an egg with a baby. I unfortunately did not get a picture, but the "mold" was in chunks and was blueish green, it was around the aircell and the duckling's bellybutton, the duckling has since passed and I'm wondering if the moldy egg could've been the cause? He had a red and inflamed bellybutton, and he had a hard time balancing. I kept him in a cup for a day and he learned how to walk, but he was always wobbly and had a skittery sort of walk, he didn't grow much (probably because he didn't eat much, I had to dribble water, food, and nutritional yeast on the side of his bill to make him eat) and in the end he fell over and before I noticed he had aspirated some vomit and passed soon after. Has anyone seen an egg go bad or grow mold with a baby inside?
