Sorry for lack of updating- The babies did hatch! They are all with my silkie hen . I lost a few unfortunately. I lost all from my pen, not sure why but they did appear weaker for some reason. 4 out of the 6 of those hatched though. I have 5 left of the other 12, sold a few of those.
The call duck egg was indeed unfertile.

I am joining this- didn't think i would be but a good deal off hatching eggs. They come from a satin, frizzle, silkie combined pen. No idea on how good the quality is, but it was a good deal.
I got 12 of those, and then 6 are from my own silkie pen (Only two are laying, either the one that went broody or my black silkies eggs, rooster is partridge. )
The broody has 6 eggs, 2 out if the dozen, 3 are mine.
That's 18, and i also have 1 call duck egg under the hen (drake is either pekin or call duck, don't think its fertile. ) I've never hatched duck eggs so no idea if the infertility is because ducks cant be mixed. Idk how that works.
