I have a duck about a little older than a year. I always assusmed that it was a male but today i disocvered 7 eggs, she wasnt sitting on them and has been around male ducks in about a 3 months. Do they lay everyday? Do you eat them like chicken eggs?lol

Yes and yes. LOL She was probably laying and you didn't find them before. By the way, a hen doesn't need a male to lay. They will lay an egg daily with or without a male. Think of it like a woman ovulating. Only woman have an egg produced once a month. Hens do it every 24 hours.

They are great to eat! Use like any other egg.
