Ah! She does look a bit different for sure. Should I just keep the eggs there in the nest then? I don't want her to over do it! Since she doesn't have a mate, she might keep going? hmmm

Huh! Thought it was different from wild and domestic. I just presumed wild ones didn't lay as much as from what I read online...but what do I know!

Yes! I am collecting them.

Yes, it's total! one egg every day.

Update...she has laid 21 eggs! Still going strong and full of energy! What in the world? haha

Please see my response to the reply above. 👍

She is currently in our care and is fine for now but I am aware of the laws for sure. An I should have been clear that she laid these eggs once a day since the last egg. Not all at once. And This Mallard was not taken, but she waddled up to us actually from the middle of a bush. The mother did...

Hey everyone!! I have a rescued WILD mallard with angel wing who is almost 8 months old. No mate, but plenty of attention. She has been laying eggs. She did a first set of 14.Took those. Then a few days later, she has a total of 19 as of today?! This doesn't seem normal? She's acting fine...
