I got a new bunny. I let her out and watched her burrow under the duck house (shipping crate). I didn't realize until today, 2 days after the burrowing, that she had gone right under where my duck was sitting on her nest. (Burrowing on Tuesday, today is Thursday)
Today, while I was digging worms, she came off the nest. I went to check on her eggs/ nest when I saw to my disappointment that the eggs had dropped into the 1 foot deep hole from the bunny. Only 1 egg remained in the nest, warm.
The other eggs are cold. One was cracked. I checked, and saw it was probably 1/2 way done becoming a duckling.
I don't have an incubator. Do you think mama duck can recover these eggs? I've filled the hole and put the eggs back in her nest box.
This is completely my fault. I take full responsibility for losing 11 eggs. I feel bad for my mama duck, because this is her first clutch.
