Mother and father take turns, say the mother lays on the egg, while shes doing that the father will be getting food, and they take turns
Usually the mother but sometimes the father so they can both get food.
They won't if they go cold, which will likely happen if she leaves the nest, unless the eggs are artificially incubated, instead of the mothers heat, the growing chicks inside will die. It appears mother ducks will leave the nest during the laying phase and as long as it doesn't get below freezing outside, the eggs will do fine!
Ducks do not carry their babies. When the babies are born they are imprinted with their mother. After that they follow her all over. She doesn't have to carry them because they are right behind her.
The term is Brooding
A duck will sometimes sit on unfertilized eggs. Usually, after a while the duck will come to realize that the eggs are not going to hatch and she will give up and move on.
no males also do it when the mother penguine goes to eat
I hope the female eagle does, otherwise that means my national bird is a b*tch a** n***a.

Yes
Male parakeets cannot lay eggs--only females can.
Yes. Kookaburras incubate their eggs by sitting on them. Both the male and female sit on the eggs, sharing their incubation duties.
yes they do
The mother sits on the egg until it is time to collect food, then the father will sit on the egg to keep it warm between his feet, hence why they waddle, until the mother returns, when they will switch roles again or until the other is ready.
