Hi! I have 2 Pekin Ducks that I bought from my local feed store in April. They are between 15 and 17 weeks. the female laid one soft shell stinky egg 10 days ago(in her pool) and since I have been searching the yard every morning and working on a nightime enclosure. Today I found her nest with EIGHTEEN eggs in it. All are hard. All about the same size. They are only slightly bigger than chicken eggs. I marked them with a felt pen so tomorrow I can see if the new egg is edible. Here's my dilemma.
Do I let her sit on and try to hatch the 18?
Do I get rid of those eggs since it's her first laying season?
