How you can obtain fertilized and unfertilized egg from hens?
Once hens are of a certain age, they will produce eggs. If you want an unfertilized egg, don't put the hen with a rooster. Depending on the breed, she will give you 1-6 eggs per week. If you don't have a nest box for her, she will make a nest on the ground. If you want fertilized eggs, place a rooster with the hen, make sure the rooster knows his job, and the next day you may have a fertilized egg. There is a way to tell if the egg has been fertilized once it's cracked open, but through the shell, you can't tell until the egg is incubated and the chick starts to develop.
Is the mallard duck sitting on her nest during all the daylight hours leaving it at night to go out and get food and water for herself?
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.
