defo sounds like infertile is all

as stated give vit e

take the eggs and hen for a few days and giv him some vit e tabs then try again or wait till next year

how many pairs of birds do you have.

I would honestly say that it sounds like they're two hens... I've made the same mistake in the past (many moons ago!). If not then you might have to bin the one the male because he's not going to be much use to you :/
