I have attempted 2 duck hatches in the incubator and both times i have ended up with a 30% hen to 60% drake hatch rate. Is there any way to increase the percentage of hens? Temp, humidity etc.

My 6 month old KC duck was walking funny so I checked her out and she was egg bound. I tried gently messaging the egg out but it felt soft on one end. I don't know what to do. I sanitized my hands and attempted to feel the egg but I could not feel it other than through tissue. Any advice. I...

I have 4 kakhi Campbell ducks, 2 drakes and 2 hens. They are about 6 months old and one of them has layed an egg about a week ago but nothing since. They are not molting and are healthy and happy. Just no eggs other than the one. Any ideas?
