All birds have to incubate their eggs, keeping them at a certain temp and turning them so the chicks won't stick to the inside of the eggs. Some birds cover their eggs to keep them warm when they are away, but most just use their own body heat
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.

Nope, all ducks, geese, chickens, guineas and soforth are birds. Mammals have fur, usually, and don't lay eggs. (The Platypus and Echidna are one exception.)
They are the most common type of ducks and really interesting. Mallard ducks also behave like any other birds, building cup-like nests made up of grass and leaves. Female mallard ducks usually lay around five to fourteen greenish-white eggs in each clutch, and it's the female mallard that takes care of their ducklings.
The population of mallard ducks in Louisiana is estimated to be around 1.2 million.
The incubation time for mallard ducks typically ranges from 28 to 30 days. The female mallard will lay a clutch of about 8 to 12 eggs and will incubate them by herself, while the male often stays nearby to protect the nest. During this period, the female will leave the nest briefly to feed, but she generally remains close to ensure the eggs are kept warm.
Same as the male, orange.
Mallard ducks are not capable of changing gender. There is no known species of duck that is capable of that.
