how many eggs does a mallard lay
Mallards lay between 8-12 eggs and muscovies lay between 12-18 eggs. The egg laying process lasts for an equal number of days (it takes 12 days to lay 12 eggs).Once egg laying is complete, she will leave the male (who will wait at the water for her) and she will begin incubation on the nest fulltime.n 24 to 28 days for wild mallard ducks (28 to 32 days for muscovies), all the eggs in the nest will hatch within a twenty-four to 48 hour period.
