No, the father does not have to stay around after a duckling is born as once a duckling starts walking soon after it has hatched it can generally look after itself as long as you or the mother duck provide food, water, warmth and shelter.

How long after Peking Duck lays eggs can you incubate them. My duck laid her eggs on the edge of the pond then laid on them over night and now seems to have abandoned them. What can I do?

You can incubate Peking Duck eggs within 7-10 days of them being laid. If your duck has abandoned the eggs, you can try to carefully move them to an incubator or a warm, quiet place for artificial incubation. Make sure to follow proper incubation procedures and humidity levels for successful hatching.

What color are Goose?

That's simple they're white with brown spots. We have several breeds of geese and until now they have all laid plain white eggs, without any spots. We just found a big brown speckled egg in the hen house the exact same size as our duck eggs and the smaller white goose eggs. Who laid the huge brown egg, a goose, a duck or one of the new chickens?


What happens if you move a duck egg?

Moving a duck egg can disrupt the development of the embryo inside, leading to potential harm or death of the duckling. Duck eggs are sensitive to temperature and humidity changes, so it's important to handle them with care to avoid any negative impacts on their viability. It's best to avoid moving duck eggs once they have been laid to ensure the successful hatching of the eggs.
