Farm Duck.
« on: April 27, 2008, 00:14 »
My female farm duck has laid 14 eggs over about 13 days..  She has not laid on them and it's been almost two weeks. Is she just waiting till she's all done laying? Because I read that the eggs weren't suppose to sit over a week without being incubated.. But I dunno.. So I figured I'd ask you guys... lol.

Commercial ducks have been bred to lay hundreds of eggs, so she may be months away from going broody, if she does so at all.

Ohh. Okay. Would the eggs still be fertile? Because I have an incubator I can put them in..  :scratch:

Along as you have a drake running with her, yes. Remember though, most ducks are awful mums and that you would be better off putting some of her eggs under a broody hen.

Okay, Then they're fertile. lol. I don't have any chickens.. So I guess I'll just take a few out and put them in the incubator?....
