My first Ancona duck hatch this year is not going very well; only 10/22 were fertile, and now I am down to only 5 living eggs on day 12. Out of the 5 that died, 4 were from the same duck so all of her eggs have now died. I am wondering if it has something to do with her specifically or maybe her pairing? She laid quite large eggs too, I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I cracked open her 3 eggs that I found dead this morning but I have no idea how to tell by looking what went wrong. Is anyone able to tell by pictures?
Thank you!
