Call Duck fertility

[Borncountry419]

Well I got my first Call Duck egg today!

They have been mating like crazy, but I was wondering if anyone has had issues with the first eggs not being as fertile? They're really nice birds, so I'd like as many ducklings as possible. Lol

See my pic above... all my eggs have been fertile since start of lay in Feb. It was a hassle to find/retrieve before they froze, but they hatched great! Actually did NOT have any non fertile - several quitters during incubation, but great production this year for me.

Oh really? Congrats! Hopefully I end up with the same luck. I always get about an 70-80% hatch rate with mailed Call eggs, so I'm hoping it'll be ever better.
