Do khaki Campbell ducks need a drake to lay eggs?

i also have a khacki cambell duck, in my opinion i think it depends on the specific duck. mine is a bit on the "human " side and would never stand to be locked up with a bunch of chickens. i have three other ducks and they all fare well being locked up with the chickens. so i guess im saying that depends on the attitude of the duck.


Can you eat a fertilized chicken egg?

absolutely If you gather the eggs daily the process will not really have started enough that you would know. It takes 21 days from start to finish (egg to chick) and many factors will slow and even stop the embryo from forming Cold is one main reason so collection daily and putting them in the refrigerator ensures that a fertilized egg will be as good as the unfertilized ones. A fertile egg needs temps of 99+ degrees and high humidity to get going.This is provided by the hen or an incubator. Its not a good practice but even leaving the eggs in the nest for a day or two (no more) is usually safe.In answer to this question I would have to ask another question.Who says you can't?My reason for this is that people consume fertilized (spelled with a "z") eggs all the time. I live in Honduras and people have roosters and hens running around freely in their yards here. They do not keep the hens away from the roosters to prevent fertilization and, although they do allow the hens, from time to time, to sit on a clutch of eggs to hatch them, they eat eggs from all the hens indiscriminately at other times.Likewise, there is a Philipino delicacy called Balut, which consists of chilled, fertilized duck eggs that have been given the opportunity to develop into almost-ready-to-hatch ducklings before consumption.So in short, you CAN consume fertilized eggs.


How long can duck eggs survive in the cold?

Duck eggs that have baby ducks inside can only last around 60 hours in the cold without being incubated. If they have no baby inside they can last a long time. Up to a few weeks. But if the egg is left to long then it will go rotten. Check first to see if the egg is fertile, if so transfer to an incubator or under a broody hen. Go to duckeggs.com for more accurate answers.


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.
