That happened to me last year. I bought an incubator and was able to hatch the eggs. Those same ducklings are now laying this year. As they lay, I gather the eggs and incubate. So, far we have 3 ducklings and about 6 in the incubator.

Would a raccoon eat a duck?

Yes, they will try. I've had a raccoon attack two ducks. The raccoon bit the back of the neck. Unlike most chickens which tend to be killed without a fight, both of the ducks got away with injured, possibly broken necks, but one died the same day and the other may not live.

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 animal would attack a duck at night?

Duck eggs are highly nutritious and are therefore a prime food source for many predators including other birds. Raccoons and skunk love them. Muskrat will steal duck eggs given the opportunity as they are omnivores. Fox will chase off the guarding parents and if they fail to catch a live adult duck they will take the eggs.
