odd coupled pair of ducks from different breeds

[preciouspanda]

the pair in pool are the odd couple. i started with 2 rouens supposedly 1 turned out to be a mallard both were drakes than couple days later i got 2 supposedly khaki campbells turned out to be pekins females.lost the mallard (vanished) his mate (the pekin outside of the pool) got depressed and i lost her so my 2 ducks are now mating and got my first duck egg august 24 she lays daily but she's not sitting on them. any suggestions on what to do?

If you don't want Ducklings?....Destroy the nest and collect all the eggs....

That's it though I do want ducklings but not getting a incabator till spring time.

Let her set them but it's pretty late in the season for Ducklings...not sure what your winters are like?

I left the first 9 eggs in the pens I would put them in a pile every morning and they free range daily so the other birds always messed with them not breaking them just scattered them she wouldn't go back to them so I took them and threw away so for 2 days I have collected them.

Oh....Okay....She has not began to set...I would wait till spring and let her set if she does decide too?...Not all Hen Ducks ever become Brooders...Keep collecting the eggs...

Toss them out or use in baking?....Eat them?....I do not eat Duck eggs...
