Hello,
About 26 days ago we discovered about 7 eggs in my ducks nest and saw her laying on them. After that she would lay on them some but not much.
Now she has about 20 eggs and she started about a week ago laying on them a lot, every morning I come out and she is laying on them for about the first half of the day.
I read that they hatch about 28 days after she starts incubating them. So should I probably count from the time when she really started laying on them rather than when I first discovered them?
Also, some are laid on top of others, will the ones at the bottom be able to hatch? I want to leave them with her and let her hatch them but if it’s not good for them to be on top of each other should I take a few and put them in an incubator?
