I have a pair of mallards (male & female). Her eggs hatched 16 days ago. 7 days after they hatched, she started laying eggs in her original nest again. She laid 6, covered them up, and then I started seeing eggs laying just where ever in her enclosure. I've gotten 4 of them that were just laying around. She, the drake, and her babies were just acting like it was normal to have an egg laying around. She has since uncovered the nest and there are still only 6 eggs in the nest. This is her first year laying, I incubated eggs last years and early July her and her mate hatched.
Is this something that they do when they are young? Is this a normal thing?
Thanks in advance for any input.
