I would probably keep it at correct temperature until it hatches and would take good care of it.
As with chicken eggs, fertilization occurs prior to laying the egg. It takes a week after mating for a duck's eggs to be fertile.
Moult and insufficient day-length.
It can be the wrong season for the duck to lay eggs. Fall and Spring are the best time for laying. Sometimes they will totally stop laying during winter and summer.
Ducks usually incubate their eggs for about 28 days
A duck goes from kid to an adult at about 6 months. For a female duck that is when she will start laying her eggs.
Depending on the breed, they start laying around when they turn a year old.
Because inside the duck the fat doesn't help release the eggs from the body...
Duck Billed Playpus and Spiny Echidnas are both egg laying mammals.
i have ducks around that age and they lay eggs in February
The duck billed platypus has fur and lays eggs. Despite the egg laying, it is still classified as a mammal.
Well, male ducks can't lay eggs. (there like humans, only the females can lay eggs) If by chance you meant does a male duck have to fertilize all eggs? No, they do not have to, only in the spring (which is baby season) will the male fertilize the eggs.Hope that helps! :)
A platypus is a mammal that lays eggs. It is not at all related to ducks (and its bill is not really similar to a duck's bill, either). Apart from laying eggs, it shares all other mammalian characteristics. Egg-laying mammals are known as monotremes.
