Not if it's a snake it would eat one whole then go away for about 3-4 days come back and eat again, course living in GA. I'd say you have plenty of snakes .most predators haven't anyway to carry eggs other than their mouths. a duck egg would probably fill it up.
Good point.
I suspect a fox.
Today there's only 2 eggs now. And One of those was laid this morning.
My daughter spotted a fox in yard yesterday.
I have more insight for y she might not be siting on the eggs,
Ducks know when eggs aren fertile or when offspring aren't gonna hatch because of some kind of natural condition (ex. Humidity)
Also did u buy a male separately or at the same time as her , if u bought him at the same time as her it's more likely it's her brother so she won't sit on the eggs because she knows they're inbred and won't survive the hatch
The drakes are not related to the hens.
They were brought it to the flock at separate times but thanks for the thoughts!
