I have a drake and 3 ducks that are all approaching a year. This fall we had a good clutch that one of the females went broody on and then after more than enough time she began to take them out of the nest to dispose of them. The clutch was about 20 eggs (we had all three contributing I believe). Investigation found that all of them seemed to be not fertilized by our drake (certainly not for lack of trying!) I wrote that off to maybe being due to age and he might be too young to be fully loaded. We again have a good size clutch with 2 ducks taking turns sitting and I am concerned about the same thing. I found an empty egg with yolk still in it in the pen. Any thoughts? Could I have an infertile drake?
