blue coloured spot on muscovy eggs

[duckanand]

I brooded 15 eggs of muscovy duck, after 34 days all eggs turns blue and blueish spots, and nothing hatched. the ducks spoiled some eggs by cracking it and some eggs were eaten by them,the cracked eggs were smelling bad too. I don't know why it happens so pls help me....

Were multiple ducks sharing the same nest? Was the nest site clean and dry? Multiple ducks sharing the same nest can result in very poor incubation, and wet or dirty nests can result in bacterial contamination of the eggs.

yes, I brooded two ducks in 1.5mtr clearance, and they can see each other, and the next thing is I prepared the nest with sawdust, as you said, I think it would have caused bacterial contamination. sawdust is cheap here and I using the same for my hens also. are there any better alternatives for the floor of the nest instead of sawdust?
thanks for your comment "sourland", it's really new information to me.
