New Female Baby Ducks on the Way

[thelordsblessing2017]

Hello,

Okay, so I have 2, male Pekin ducks and they have been fighting for some time now and to the point that I thought they were fighting over the kiddie pool, so I put a 2nd one in there. Nope that didn't work. I saw them trying to drown each other (well that's what it looked like to me), so I ordered 3 female baby Pekin ducks last week and they will be arriving next week or so. I know I can't put them in there for awhile, but now I have a question, as I am a newbie to both chickens/and ducks and now I have both. My question is, if I want eggs, how do you know that it's an egg that can be eaten compared to a baby duck in the egg a fertilized one. Yes, I know that sounds like a silly question, but as I stated I am new to all of this. I currently have 8 10-day old chickens (4 Easter Eggers and 4 Buff Orpingtons), they are all females. So I am not wondering about that with them.

Also, we are currently preparing to build a second duck area, exactly like the first one. Which will have a duck house and a 10x10 enclosed area. So, they all won't be together. One pen will have 2 females and a male, and the other will have one male one female duck.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Both infertile and fertile eggs can be eaten, fertile eggs don't start to develop until after 26 ish hours of incubation.
You don't have enough females for one drake, you need about 5-6 per drake.
