What is stealing my duck eggs?

[Barb Gaweda]

This is my first year raising Muscovy ducks.
The hens are starting to lay eggs and having been laying in the duck house that I have made especially for them. Only one entrance and large enough for only the ducks to get in and out.
Went out to collect the eggs today, there was about 2 dozen, to my shock there were no eggs and no evidence of broken shells!!!
Any suggestions?

Confusing......when was there 2 dozen?
Had they been accumulating over the last days/weeks and then today all were gone?
Squirrels, rats, snakes, ravens, crows,....had to be multiples with 24 eggs disappearing overnight.

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.

It's easy to do, (laptop version shown), then it's always there!
