I kept 15 eggs to hatch before I hauled my ducks to my farm 2 hours away. These eggs have been incubating for a week and show zero sign of development. This is the 2nd batch of eggs I've set and nothing developed in 7 days. I've hatched out a few hundred ducks this past summer. Just wondering why all of a sudden none of my eggs are fertile anymore. I also watched the drake do his thing numerous times with the 4 hens. Should I keep them incubating and candle a few days later? Right now they're crystal clear with no sign of veining.
 
That is odd... especially since you don't get that cold... (super cold can reduce fertility)

Check the temps in your incubator, maybe the heater just now busted. Or if it has a fan... and the fan busted, that can cause hot spots etc.

Then maybe give a nutritional boost to the breeders.

Incubators fine 99.5 and fan on. I just hatched out 36 chicks a couple days ago and now set these. I set 38 duck eggs a month back before I set the chicken eggs and they all did the same thing stayed clear none developed. I cracked one of these eggs and it was fertile. Imma let em go a few more days see if anything developes. If not I'll wait till spring try to get more eggs. I took all my ducks to run free at my pond on 85 acres 2 hours north of where I live I may not get them back lol.
