These are eggs - not yet hatched. Im sure if he/she hatches them in the bator then they will be fine.


And I agree with usschicago1 - In the duck Forum and on BYC in general it is common courtesy to be helping and positive. If you have something negative to say please dont post it. If you think it needs to be said, say it in a positive way. Byc - Because you care, Not because you criticize.

People are being helpful in acquainting of the legalities. There is nothing helpful about encouraging illegal activities. In fact, BYC will not condone it. If anyone thinks that this site (and many others ) are not monitored by F&W or other agencies, think again. There are probably people reporting posts as well.

There is a good Samaritan leeway. I believe it is still 24 to 48 hours after finding an injured endangered animal or eggs to contact a wildlife rehabilitator.

Wild animals belong in the wild. Legally and morally.

I worked with a waterfowl rescue group and even though I was known to Fish and Wildlife and the rehabbers in my area, they still confirmed with each other that I did follow through on surrendering the ducks brought to me in a timely manner.

Yes people need to leave the eggs to mother nature.......also will not be long until the fawn deer will start to appear, just like to say if you see a fawn , it mother will be hiding near by, so PLEASE DON'T take one home, or move it..

It illegal to remove wildlife for their protect....

Yes I am sure these forums are being watch , myself I hope they teach people who remove wildlife , even if they have to put them in jail to teach them they can't just get these wild animal because they want one...

BYC does not mean "because you care" and illegal is illegal, and pointing that out to someone is not criticizing or being negative....it's being realistic.
