Mallard ducks will lay and sit on about 8-15 eggs per year If you are collecting the eggs, ducks will lay over 100 eggs each year.
Foxes, and raccoons eat young mallard ducks. Snapping turtles will also eat them. Mallard duck eggs are eaten by snakes, and crows.
not all eggs rr aable 22 survive
Some geese will hatch anything, so just put the eggs under her as soon into her broodiness as possible and she might take to them.
Unfortunately, if a duck eggs breaks before it hatches, the baby duck shall not survive, if in early stages. If the egg breaks right before the duck hatches, the duck may survive.
so they could be protected and kept warm
Normally nearly all the duck eggs will hatch, although occasionally one or two eggs in the clutch will never hatch. Of course, in the wild, some eggs are eaten or broken by predators, but those that survive will should hatch, if they have been cared for properly.
To get things straight, ducks aren't nocturnal so NO they don't leave their nests at night. 1) The mallard duck is a single hen (mother duck). Single mothers are the most common in mallard duck families in which the mother duck stays in her nest for hours to secure her eggs. She does leave but only for 3 minutes to grab herself some food and then rushing back to her nest. 2) The mallard duck is a hen whose mate the drake (father duck) will feed her so that she does not have to leave the nest while the eggs have yet to hatch. In these rare families containing both parents, the drake will feed her until the ducklings emerge. However, if the mother decides that she needs to go feed herself instead of heavily relying on the drake then she will leave the nest for temporary like the single hen without the drake. If you're wondering about the eggs, the drake will secure them during her absence.
