Ducks laying eggs under the coop.

[CrazyFowlFreak]

How do I get them to lay in their house? Also, they seemed visibly upset when I took the eggs. These are the first eggs I've found from them. I think I had been finding filthy, muddy eggs in the coop and just thought that they were dirty chicken eggs. Could those have been duck eggs, you think? They are very large, like a jumbo egg from the grocery and some are white and some are off-white, almost beige. I am so excited! Also, how do I know when the ducks want to hatch their own eggs? I would love to have a few more ducks. Thanks!

You probably found duck eggs!

and as far as the other questions I'd like to know to....especially how you can tell a duck wants to set.

To my surprise, I found 3 eggs this AM in my duck house (have 5 males, 5 females), I brought the eggs into my house, and put in frig.. I do not think they were there yesterday.
My question? what next when I find eggs? I sure would like some baby ducks, what do I do? I have never lived in the country before and do not know anything! Thanks in advance.
