Duck egg question

18 years ago

I have one muscovy duck egg around day 14. All looked healthy and normal until today. My brother didn't know what was in the box and he dropped it from about six inches onto the floor. There was a towel around the egg so it was cushioned. The air sack in the egg moved from the very tip to closer to the middle/top of the egg. Do you think it will be ok? I'm sad :(

Did you candle the egg? It may be allright, if you can see the embryo moving around like normal, then the duckie should be okay.

If you still aren't sure after you candle, I would continue like nothing happened and hope he is ok. What do you have to lose?

Good Luck

I don't really see much motion. I have candled the egg and I think the air bubble is getting bigger, and it has moved back to the tip of the egg. The only thing is just barely moving the egg during candling it seems like it moves/jiggles alot in there. I'm just going to wait and see what happens. On April 20th it will be 35 days, I guess I will know then.
