You are so right. I thwart my pigeon pairs with fake eggs too.I do it all the time if I didn't I'd be over run with ducklings, of course it's always hard to take up the eggs but I know what I can handle so that wins out.

I was sorta joking.

This was really a tough weekend. She was not giving up that egg. Once we finally hit it I thought we were ok. She was still in the gazebo with us and I went in the coop the break up the nest and she went nuts. Mike actually had to hold her back. After we broke up the nest she ran back in there looked around and turned to us and just looked at us in disbelief. My heart was broken. I’m still hurting but it appears as though she is overt it already. At least I hope so
Do ducks get separation anxiety? I think that wasThis was really a tough weekend. She was not giving up that egg. Once we finally hit it I thought we were ok.

Yeah they do get separation anxiety.....Do ducks get separation anxiety? I think that was
A fowl thing, breaking up the nest like that! lol
They would lose it. Mine occasionally plop one out in the water and I find it when I drain the pool. Sometimes I think they get in the water purposely to help pass the egg when they are having a hard time laying.Here's a question for ya, if a duck lays an egg in the lake, it won't float, so she loses an egg forever, or ducks can't lay eggs in the water? I really don't know the answer to this Q. Any response would be appreciated.
