my son found duck eggs in a wheat field they were burning. the hen was sitting, but he got them so they would have a chance to survive. I put in an incubator but some of the eggs are dark under the shell are these good eggs?
Shine a light through it and count the air bubbles
(air bubbles r methane)
More methane means it is bad.
The best way to tell if a raw egg is off is to place it in water. If it is off, it will float. If it is good, it will sink entirely. If it is old, but still edible, it will position vertically in the water, with its blunt end up but its pointier end touching the base of the bowl of water.
Eggs if you put them in water and they float, they are bad. If they sink, they are good eggs. That is how you tell if they are bad or good. I would throw them away if they float. Or hard boil them and grind them up and feed to your chickens. They love it.
put an egg in water if it dose not go down it means bad egg
check if there are any cracks on it or see if a green crust starts to layer on the outside of its shell or shake it and if it makes no sound than its bad
I think that you hold an egg and flash a flash-light at the egg and you can tell if it fresh or not fresh.
Not sure which country you're in - but - in the UK, each egg is printed with a use-by date on the shell.
If you can't remember when you bought them, chuck 'em. Buy a fresh bag for a buck or two. Live large.
yes
is the shell of a hen egg as brittle as the shell of a duck or a goose egg
no you can not touch an duck egg and the mom will come back because the mom will get jealous and kill there babies so dont touch a duck egg
Unfortunately, if a duck eggs breaks before it hatches, the baby duck shall not survive, if in early stages. If the egg breaks right before the duck hatches, the duck may survive.
This is a common way of checking duck and chicken eggs for freshness. If the egg stays at the bottom of the jar, it is very fresh. If if suspends towards the middle, it is not as fresh, but it is still edible. If it rises almost to the top or floats, the egg has likely gone bad. It has to do with the air pocket inside of the shell expanding as the egg ages.

It will smell like shrimp or just smell really bad it smells like a rotten egg.
The Egg - another species that the duck has evolved from lays the duck egg, and the duck is born :)
a duck doen't get pregnant they lay eggs and there is no way you can tell until she lays the egg
The easiest was to know is to crack it open and examine the embryo.
