We have a sweet mallard couple that hangs out near our house every year. Mama must have confused our new pool for the neighbors pond and began swimming around on it. However one day she was acting funny, and just before she hopped in the water, she squirted out an egg. She swam for about 3 minutes and left...and never came back. The weather was changing dramatically that day, so I made my husband go get the egg before it froze. She never came back. We have it under a light, and have been turning it. According to my research, we should have a baby in about a week. I've read a lot, but I would really advice on what to do with the baby.
