Newbie to egg laying...will my ducks hatch their own eggs?

[cdnley]

I am new to the egg laying situation...in fact I just found out I had a male and female duck because of the suprise egg! The Rouen duck was obvious male while the Blue Swedish was harder to figure out, lol.

So now I am wondering if my ducks would hatch their own eggs? She spends a lot of time outside and is not really sitting on the eggs (there are now 2). She is laying them in the same spot though. Because the 2 breeds are different the eggs are an off white with green blotches, kinda neat. How many will she potentially lay? Do I grab a few now, or when there is a pile?

So do I grab the eggs..she won't get upset about that? I can rig up and incubator easily as I did some e-research. I didn't find the awnser to the questions I am asking above though and need some advice!

Also what would the baby duck look like?

Thanks so much )

Some will lay on their own eggs, but most wont.

One of mine is sitting on her eggs plus any other eggs she can get her little beck on. She even bit me today when I was collecting the chickens eggs. Guess she wants to hatch those out too.
