Do Ducks Need Nesting Boxes?

[astronomer]

I have 9 female ducklings. I built them a house, but if I want to collect their eggs, do I need to build nesting boxes? Are those even useful for ducks?

My ducks like to make their own nest in the shaving in their houses. So you might make one and see if they take to it. Some may.

I have a bin of pine straw in their house and they make nest in that - or just lay their eggs on top of the pile of pine straw.
