Mallard duck nesting on about 17 duck eggs and 3 chicken eggs should remove the baby chicks from her when hatched so she will stay on the duck eggs until they hatch?

:: Answer place here (by supervisor) from discussion page;: That is way to many eggs for one duck to hatch. 8-12 is about the largest number of eggs for a nest. The mother will more than likely leave the duck eggs when most of the chicks hatch. I am not sure if you remove the chicks if she will stay sitting each duck is different. Some will stay with the nest to try to hatch the rest of the eggs but other will leave the nest completely. If it were me I would decide now which I wanted most, the ducklings or the chicks. : When ever you mess with a ducks nest she can give up on the nest and not hatch any of them after she has been sitting.
