From my knowledge, i dont think Drakes will ever sit on eggs....just the female....How any ducks do you have? A pair? I've heard that a Drake might very well sit on the nest to help out the hen (Female Duck) but i've never heard of one sitting on eggs by himself.....What breed? A pic would be helpful...it sounds like you may have a female, though.

Does the Duck QUACK or does it sound raspy like an old lady after a night at Bingo?

Hens Quack.....Drakes sound raspy plus have Drake feathers on the tail that curl up......


Cheers!

It's extremely rare but yes I've had a Mallard Drake sit on eggs for a few days. He did quit after a few days though.
