I wish I could have... but it is full of duck eggs right now.

I realize that this is an old thread, but in case anyone comes across it and wants to know, I feel that your little girl abandoned her nest because after that third day she realized that her eggs were not fertile. I have read a lot about how to incubate eggs and I know that eggs can be "candled" after the third day of incubation to discover if the egg is indeed fertile or not. Even if there is a male there to fertilize them does not necessarily mean that he has been, or has been able to, do his job, so to say. I have a male and a female Peking and the female dodges nearly every advance that the male makes toward her. She has a nest of four eggs now and if she starts sitting on them after building a clutch of up to a dozen and suddenly abandons them, I will assume that they are infertile, like I already assume they are.
