what happens if a duck leaves its eggs
If possible, leave the eggs for another week. If the end of that week, there are still no new eggs and the mother hasn't returned, the eggs can be discarded. We realize that many people want to rescue the eggs and take them to a rehabilitator so that they can incubate them and raise the ducklings.f an unattended duck nest is discovered and it has less than 8 eggs and there are no signs of predation (broken eggs, disturbed nest, etc), it might be safe to assume that the female has not yet completed egg laying.
