What makes you say that?

"High" depends on what you are comparing them to. They are not high enough to be useful in this case. Compared with a layer feed meant for chickens or ducks, they are not high enough to be useful. https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4450/13/9/831 Here is one paper talking about the nutrients in them. It...

I have read that you can avoid that by mixing salt or sugar into them before freezing. I have not personally tried that, but I have tried freezing cookie dough to bake later, and there were no problems with the eggs in it.

Poking around a bit more about duck genetics.... https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/blue-swedish-cross-genetics-pics-added.228086/ Someone had Blue Swedish males with a Khaki Campbell female and a Runner female. All ducklings looked like Swedish (blue or black) And these bits in a...

My concern was where it said, "There may be another dominant bibbing gene as well that is linked to extended black, or that type of bibbing may be an interaction effect, we are not sure." And "B+ This is the wild type dominant not-bibbed allele. Any duck having this allele will not have a...

If I read that article right, then all ducklings should be blue or black, from all the mothers. The article is unclear on whether you would get white bibs on all ducklings, or only on ones that have mothers with a white bib. (Maybe there are two genes that can cause bibs, with one being...
