Questions about wild duck eggs

[NanaCandace]

Hi I’m Candace. I live in hot Texas. Have a lake boat dock. Went to the lake to swim with grandkids this weekend and found 5 eggs in our lake float. No parent duck seen. Went back the next day still duck eggs but no parent ducks to be seen. Can I move these eggs to another location so the parents might come take care of them

You can move them. They're probably not good anymore/not developed anyways.

Thank you. I really would love to watch a group of ducks grow but where they are I’m surprised raccoons or foxes haven’t eaten them. Not have any knowledge of hatching eggs. Only have cats

Hello, and welcome to BYC. If the hen is not adding more eggs, she has abandoned the nest. If you move them, she will not set on them in another site.
