Yes. The duck will sit on the clutch of eggs until they hatch in about 28 days from when she starts to sit on them. She does leave for short periods to eat and drink when there is nobody around. Be patient, the eggs will hatch, and soon there will be a brood of ducklings.

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.

If duck eggs get wet will they hatch?

The eggs need moisture to hatch, in nature, the moms leave the nest once a day for half hour to eat, drink and bathe themselves... when they come back wet, this provides needed moisture to the egg. If you incubate them it is important to study how much moisture to have in the incubator daily. It's impossible for a duck to ever get wet, even when it's a baby. Duck's have this one special oil in their feathers which makes water stay off them. This oil is provided to them by their mother when they are babies, but when they get older, they start producing it on their own in their mouths and they rub it onto their feathers. If your babies are born under an incubator, you need to wait until they are old enough before you let them swim, unless they have a mommy duck to coat their feathers.

Do female finches lay eggs even without breeding with males and If this is normal then what do you do with the eggs when they are laid?

You can leave the eggs in the nest for a while. If she is in the mood to lay and sit on eggs, she should be satisfied with the ones she has. Throw them out and she will probably lay more. Letting her keep these for a while gives her a rest.
