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.
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.
A woman is born with all the eggs she will ever have. This is not true for men and sperm.

One without a mate? No, the egg needs to be fertilized or the egg would never hatch. Yes, female birds lay eggs on their own but they still need a mate to fertilize the eggs.

No male duck will ever turn into a female duck.
A female is born with all of the eggs she will ever have. Upon reaching the age of sexual maturity the female will begin menstruating causing eggs to leave the Ovaries and travel down the Fallopian Tubes.
:: 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.
The male has no part in the rearing of a young platypus. The female will not willingly leave the young behind. She is a dutiful mother, going without food and waters while incubating the eggs and in the early days after the eggs have hatched.
Because female bettas will eat eggs and the male will fight anything to protect them. Never ever leave a female in the same tank after they're done mating, he'll probably kill her!

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.
The ovary is the organ in the female body that is responsible for releasing eggs each month. The eggs are made when a female is forming as a baby in her mother's womb. She is born with all of the eggs she will ever have, and they stay in her two ovaries, being released each month starting in puberty.
