Duck eggs!!!!

[dingoofus]

I pity the duck's parenting skills. Crushing the eggs by itself is quite a blow. I've never seen ducks crushing eggs and my grandparents raise a lot of ducks in their farm.

It sounds like it's natures way of telling the other duck, there's enough ducks around here already, we don't want to overpopulate the place.

Lol, more trouble than good? Have you ever kept a duck before???
Anyways, I have somewhat of an incubater, it's a bucket, lid with hole in the middle, pine needles moss and such, and a human heat pad, keeps them 98-100. I have the time to turn them 2 time's before school and 3 times after, I'm not sure about the night shift though.

Oh, you're keeping them? okay as long as you don't return them to the same spot lol.

I guess so, but I've never seen any ducklings produced by the white ducks in this lake, only mallards. Seems like whenever a male finds a nest he destroys it.

And of course I'm keeping them, ducks are awesome pets!

AHH stop it LOL!
Anyways yes, they are both native.
Not sure what the white ducks are though.

No, not the mother duck, I'm guessing it was another male killing her batch of eggs to earn the right to mate with her. I've seen it happen once before, but was too far away to do anything.

Oh. I must have misread the first post. Silly duck.
