Ring teal question

[Big Cluck]

So I've read that ring teals are the rabbits of wild duckies. If you didn't want an abundance of them would you: take their eggs? Not provide a nesting box they would like? I've not had experience with birds who WANT to hatch eggs.... Except 1 hen who has never succeeded despite her efforts.

take their eggs?

and replace with plastic dummy eggs. Eventually they will pass their broody period, and resort to just free-ranging.
