oh, infection is incredibly taxing on the system! No wonder his eggs didn't do well. I wouldn't worry about it, wait til he's well 100%. Also, antibiotics can affect sperm.

so how long should I wait if my other girl goes broody?

I think most of the excitement for the kids was the anticipation of counting down the days and waiting for them to hatch so I would buy eggs before I would buy ducklings. I'm just wondering if I don't find my girls nest and she disappears and goes broody if it's going to be the same as this time. Her last nest I found 50 yards from the house and it's only by the grace of God I found it. I still haven't found the current nest.
