Why would a duck hen break open her own egg? I just found a almost formed egg, they're due in 10 days
She has her own house that is predator proof and she was covered in blood so I know it was her.
The duckling was broken out of the nest, yoke still intact

Probably some kind of dinosaur eggs. Lol
Viksceeks, it may have already been dead or had something wrong with it. Any active veins?

I just candled them all last night and all seemed to be doing fine. I did it quickly though so I may have skipped one as there was 13. This is her first clutch. I've never had a duck or hen break open their own eggs during development though...usually they're just pushed out
Everything looked intact and developing fine..i'm hoping she doesn't kill the rest
