When a hen duck lays her egg and leaves her nest for a day will she come back?
When people are around, ducks will spend little time on their nest. The duck is more concerned about not having intruders find the eggs, so she is very active to draw their attention away from the nest. However, she usually settles down at night and protects them from the cooler temperatures. I have found that if the duck has been broody for two weeks, and her eggs are infertile, she will abandon the nest, take a break and start again later. The infertile egg does not maintain it's temperature, and even when under the duck all night, it stays cooler than a fertile egg which is generating heat on its own. If it is only one or two "dud" eggs, then the duck will not sit on them, but will push them into the nesting material. That way, if they should become rotten and explode, they will not dirty the good eggs.

How long before wild baby turkeys leave the nest?
Ducks usually leave the nest just after all the eggs have hatched because the mother bird does not feed the chicks, they have to find food for themselves and to do this best they need to be on water. Thus the mother duck will take them out of the nest and to water immediately.
How do you make a duck go broody?
It depends on the breed, some breed of ducks are more broody than others... There is nothing you can do to make a duck go broody and you can't stop a duck from being broody. When your duck starts to lay eggs don't take them away leave the eggs untouched when there are about 8-12 eggs laid in her nest she might go broody and incubate them until they hatch, while some other ducks will lay their eggs any place like in the middle of the garden, on the pen's floor etc,etc.... A broody duck will make a nest in a well hidden place and lay the eggs there.

Cage birds laying eggs what to do with eggs?
if you don't want chicks hard boil the eggs and give them back to them or simply take the nest off them and if you do want chicks take 2 nests off the pair and then take the nest strait away from them if you do want chicks and they have a nest when they lay the next nest u will ave to separate the chicks from the parents because when they lay the next nest they will literally beat the first chicks to death.

Do you remove pekin duck eggs from nest she has been sitting 2 days knowing you have no male to fertilize?
Theres no point in leaving them there since they will not hatch because if you do they can go bad and smell. You can eat duck eggs, so when she lays eggs just take them. Duck eggs are very good for baking because you will get more batter and fluffier baked goods.
