Best Answer

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.

Duck eggs can survive in cold temperatures for a few hours, but extended exposure to very cold temperatures can harm the embryos inside the eggs. It's best to keep duck eggs at a consistent temperature between 50-55°F for optimal hatching success.
