    Will Duck eggs still hatch?

    The simple answer is yes they can still hatch. How long have there been twelve eggs? How many days has she been sitting part time? Many ducks when they first go broody don't sit 23 hours a day, but later become more committed.

    Too much protein for ducks — effects?

    It will not develop angel wing due to feeding 20% protein. I don't know about Muzuri's starter as far as other details. The feed I use is designed for all stages of life.

    Breed?

    Ducklings are sometimes as uniquely colored as adult ducks. Being they are from a farm their is a possibility of mixed breeds. In ducks mixed breeds may mimic other breeds. If you can get a picture of them standing it may help. My first thoughts are a Pekin and a dark Welsh Harlequin.
