Hello, and welcome to BYC. What makes you think that the eggs are not fertile? Fertile eggs will show no development until incubated.

Thank you.
When I crack the eggs I never see the bullseye marking around the white dot. It’s just a solid white dot. From what I have read is that if there is a bullseye it’s fertile and if it’s solid it’s not fertile. Do you have to wait a couple of days until the bullseye appears?

Broody ducks act like they hate the world and everything in it. 🤣
Mine never listen to me as to where I want them to lay, but they try to take over the chicken's nesting boxes.
Your ducks might be changing locations due to you taking the eggs. My muscovy are pretty determined and will continue laying the eggs in the same spot regardless, but once in awhile they will change locations.
Also, since both males are mating her, you really need to consider getting more females to help lighten the pressure of being mated by 2 males. Or separate at least one of the males for now. They potentially can cause damage if they decide to gang up on her.

Hello, my female is still laying in the same spot even though I take her eggs. She hasn’t hanged locations yet. Im trying to make her lay somewhere else but she refuses 😂. The spot she lays is safe so I don’t have much concern about it getting attacked or anything.
Yes, I have made an appointment with someone on getting more females so Harper (my female) won’t get hurt.
Thanks for your response 😊
