Is this a fertile duck egg?

[Jamie1717]

Hi everyone! I’m new here and was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is a fertile duck egg? It looks fertile to me. I have 4 Blue Swedish ducks that I thought were all female but I saw 2 of them mating today and while this might be an obvious answer, I just need confirmation . Thank you!

The photo isn't quite focused enough for me to tell.
You can also post photos of your ducks if your wondering about gender. Specifically their tails.

They are night its just not close enough to tell. but if you duck has a curly tail its a boy.

I’ve been trying to check their tails but they don’t really like to be approached by people so they run away lol.

I agree, photos of your ducks would be a better indicator as it’s hard to tell from the pic of the egg. It is possible for females to mount one another. Do their quacks sound the same? How old are they?

You shouldn't have to check their tails. A drake with have a distinct curly tail feather you can see without getting close. See image below.
