For a novice it can be difficult to determine which end of a duck egg
(normally the bigger end) the air sac is on because duck eggs can be quite
evenly symmetrical. When in doubt, the best way I have found to locate
and mark the big end (if you can choose one) for reference when turning,
is to "FLOAT" the egg in warm water (100F) and see which end points
upwards. The eggs are practically neutrally buoyant and so it works quite
well even with a small air sac.
Don't you worry about washing off the bloom?
