Sound like a great Idea there... but after the taste she got yesterday... she would just think that I was saying it was okay and she is allowed to eat them.... she would think it was just a bad egg... Not to mention... I only have 5 left... havent yet checked on this morning... but don't want to loose anymore​

***UPDATE***

I just got back in from taking care of all the babies... found a new duck egg in the same nest!!!!

BUT, what surprised me is that she didn't cover it with hay like she has been... so I did it for her... did I do the right thing?

Question - We she keep laying and try to make up for those ones that dissapered OR will she just lay until her "cycle" is over??? I know she can lay as many as 20+ eggs that is why I am asking. Will she get to that mark and quit or keep laying? Does this make sence?

Thanks to all of you for your thoughtfullness, kind words, and warnings!!!! I really do not know what I would have done without all of you!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

I would just take her eggs. If she is not covering them, she probably is not going to set anytime soon. It is getting cold for babies anyway. Baking season is coming up. You can use the ducks eggs for that.
