To be more clear with this answer, female reptiles and birds can lay eggs regardless of having them fertilized or not. The female duck will lay an egg regardless of the rooster's actions.

Furthermore, a rooster and duck are not compatible in breeding, so don't expect a chicken/duck hybrid or something like that.

Um, roosters don't lay eggs, the hens do! (Nice one!!) I disagree .. The question clearly states that a rooster had laid an egg ... The fact that a Rooster has laid an egg is irrelevant. Clearly the egg will go nowhere because it is balanced perfectly on the tip of the point! Errrrr..... If you look in joke books, it says: It didn't roll because roosters don't lay eggs! I know that because my nephew loves joke books and he sent me one for Christmas last year. Yeah, great joke!

Which is more beautiful male duck or female duck is more beautiful?

Both are the same 'niceness' if that makes sense to you, but if you are thinking of buying: a drake ( boy ) is normally cheaper, because it can't lay eggs, but a girl can lay eggs. I would get one of each so you can get ducklings from them.
