Yes, warm temps can make them hatch sooner, but that is usually only a problem when they are in an incubator, as its easier to make a mistake with the temp. Since the eggs are under her, I doubt that would be a problem.

Are you sure it's a muscovy egg, and do you know the exact date when she started sitting?

Very unlikely, how formed was the duckling?

Could have been a rat/snake etc, although I would think they would have eaten most of the contents, maybe the two broodies were fighting over eggs and the egg rolled out of the nest and broke, or a chicken/duck starting pecking at it.

Were the contents of the egg gone, or just broken, did it seem rotten?

These are under a duck right? I wouldn't expect you to, thats her job.

It may be due to lack of turning of the egg, some broodies aren't as diligent as other's. I've seen that with a few of my eggs, and they have all hatched.

You say, the yolk is on one side of the egg, does it look like this?

Do you see any veins in the egg?

Do you see any veins in the egg? I dont , looks unfertilized to me.

Could you post a picture of you candling the eggs? Your broody has 45 eggs under her? Or is that total from the other one?
