I found a clutch of eggs under my tomato plants. I have 7 runner girls and 1 drake who is a Cayuga. They have been laying for a couple of weeks now and every egg I crack is fertile. I know runners aren't very good sitters. Do I leave the clutch and see what happens? Or take the eggs? I'm in Texas and its 100-106 degrees outside. Will this effect the eggs as far as them not sitting on them?![]()
The heat shouldn't affect them at all, but the question is, do you want more ducks? If so, I would move them like Cyndi said to a safe place where you want them to be, like the nesting box. Since your girls are young they might not get it right away, so you may have to incubate them yourself. If you don't want more ducks, I would just collect them everyday and eat them.
