Oh and if you don't want duckling just collect them everyday the will not start to develop unless she has sat on them full time and even if they are fertile eggs you can still eat them
No i don't thinks so mine had full nest like 18 eggs before she starting sitting on them after she died and we found the nest and the eggs were at day 6 of development they looked good and healthy so we tried to incubate and they seemed to develop fine but we started to lose them around day 23...
I myself have no idea we had 3 pekin ducks for a little over a year 2 females and one male........ One of our females never cared she dropped her eggs where ever and the other one had hidden nest that we had to find and take the eggs then she found a place we could not get to we decided to let...
They can have a good life....Once you accept that their life is different and different is not bad and enjoy them just the same everyday you will find joy and a little extra work......lol
I have posted a thread on here all about her Called the-amazing-blind-white-crested-duck and hope to start a YouTube channel about her because it has been a hard but awesome journey. Please read my thread and if there is anything you would like to share about your drake i would love to hear it
