Help!!! Mama duck attacked!

[chickens really]

So, I called Ohio wildlife center and they basically said, I can incubate them.. which will cause them to imprint on me and they won’t be able to survive alone... or I can place the eggs into the Woods and “let them become part of the ecosystem” aka become food.... both of those options broke my heart.

Sorry but I would honestly just not bother with them..She was a Wild Mallard..I thought domesticated. Just bag up eggs and move on..
Sorry.....
