I have a duck who is right now 10 months old will be 11 months the 18th of april... The last 6 days she has waited until she was let out of night pen to lay her eggs.. She chose a brush pile up against the privacy fence.. Up until today she was going in several times a day and staying on them for an hour or so each time.. This morning when I let her and Stanley out she had layed an egg in one of the 3 nesting boxes ( the same boxe she had used up until she started laying the in the hidden spot.. ( well I take that back for a week she had changed to another nesting box) the she started holding them till she was let out and then laying them.. I let them out every morning between 8 and 9... and before she always had layed her eggs before I let her out... The las 6 days she didn't lay them till may 10:00 or so.. Day 7 she leaves one in nesting box.
I have the 6 eggs that are hidden dated april 1-6. and the one in nesting box with todays date.. Are the 6 hidden ones still okay to eat. should I leave them there a little longer..
I have left the one in the nesting box too...
It has been in the 50' 60's at night here. and 70's to 80's during the day.. Have also gotten a little rain a few days ago.
I don't think she visited the eggs that are hidden any today..
Suggestions on how to handle this..
I can't see her having two nests..
