Mallard Duck Information

[Emelyn]

My mallard has started laying. She has 8 eggs beside my porch. How long should I wait to see if she sits or should I go ahead and throw them in the incubator?

When did she lay them?

Over the last 9 days. How do I know if she plans to hatch them?

If she is sitting on the eggs and refusing to leave. If not then you should incubate them.
