If you take a light into a dark room and shine a light directly into the egg, you can take a look inside. If you see veins and a small blob within, most likely the small duckling inside is not dead. If you check up on it regularly and can see the central blob in the middle progressively grow larger, it's definitely alive. However, if you look inside and see a red ring inside of it, that is a sign that it is dead and will not continue to grow.
What else can I help you with?

Duck has been sitting on her eggs now for 5 weeks she has taken 2 out of the nest and destroyed it with a chick inside you did check one egg and the chick was fully formed and dead with the the yolk?
It seems like the duck may be experiencing some issues with her brooding instincts, as destroying eggs with live chicks inside is not normal behavior. It may be best to remove the remaining eggs from her nest to prevent further harm and to ensure any remaining chicks have a chance to hatch in a safe environment. Ducks typically hatch their eggs within 28-35 days, so at 5 weeks, those eggs may not be viable anymore.

How many eggs do ducks lay per year?
Not sure what an average duck is? I guess it depends on the total ducks your are dealing with to get an average... LOL Depends on the Duck... I have been raising ducks for egg production for almost 30 years. We now raise a hybrid for egg production called the White Golden Layer or White Layer. There is also a Golden 300 which is similar. These duck's lay approximately 250 -300 eggs per year. They will lay eggs in full production for about ten years sometimes more sometimes less. In contrast some wild species will lay just a few per year.
Mallard duck nesting on about 17 duck eggs and 3 chicken eggs should remove the baby chicks from her when hatched so she will stay on the duck eggs until they hatch?
:: Answer place here (by supervisor) from discussion page;: That is way to many eggs for one duck to hatch. 8-12 is about the largest number of eggs for a nest. The mother will more than likely leave the duck eggs when most of the chicks hatch. I am not sure if you remove the chicks if she will stay sitting each duck is different. Some will stay with the nest to try to hatch the rest of the eggs but other will leave the nest completely. If it were me I would decide now which I wanted most, the ducklings or the chicks. : When ever you mess with a ducks nest she can give up on the nest and not hatch any of them after she has been sitting.

Why do white ducks hang out with mallard ducks?
The Mallard duck is the ancestral precursor to all domestic ducks except Muscovy ducks. The white ("Long Island duckling"), type of farm pond duck descended from and can still interbreed with mallard ducks. Although the domestic ducks are usually significantly larger, feral ducks often revert to mallard characteristics after a few generations. The mallard is the essential "type O" duck that dominates the duck gene pool. They're native only to the Americas but because of introduction they have been established on every continent except Antarctica. Mexican Ducks and Hawaiian Ducks are also mallard hybrids, and ornithological scientists now generally agree that all Black Ducks in existence are now carrying mallard DNA. They hang out with the white ducks, and vice versa, because they're "cousins" and share the same habits and characteristics in feeding, breeding, and nesting.
