i have a Cayuga who is about a year she mated w our Pekin. She has hatched 7 eggs 3 of which were black and white and 4 completely white so far she had 7 eggs left when we went to check on her today she had 3 more eggs in the nest. I do have another Pekin female who has laid eggs before and had them stolen by a predator. Could she be laying these eggs near the nest and the the Cayuga is taking them and sitting on them for her??? We are very confused. Especially because we have 4 all white ducklings and she is all black.
These ducklings are also hatching sporadically 3 hatched 2 weeks ago 3 hatched 5 days ago and one more 1 day ago.
This is all new to me. Is this all possible?
Is she hoarding the other ducks eggs?
