Only One Fertile Duck Egg, Now What?
Our Rouen duck Magnolia went broody just before Easter, so we decided to give her some eggs to hatch. We gave her four duck eggs, two were apparently not fertilized and were discarded, and two were developing quite nicely. Unfortunately, one of the eggs was destroyed this morning. We are pretty...- boopsqueak
