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?
The shell of a hen's egg is typically thinner and more brittle compared to the shells of duck or goose eggs. Duck and goose eggs have thicker and harder shells to provide protection for the larger eggs they lay.

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 is a myth that touching a duck egg will cause the mother to abandon it. Ducks have a poor sense of smell and often do not react to human scent on their eggs. It is best to leave the egg where it is to give it the best chance of hatching successfully.
If a duck egg breaks before hatching, the duckling inside may not be able to survive if it is not fully developed. The duckling may also be at risk of infection from bacteria entering the broken shell.
