wood duck eggs

[Littleducky]

My wood ducks have finally started laying. There are 2 eggs in 1 box and 3 in the other. Should I wait till they are done laying or collect.the eggs everyday? I don't want to stop the laying process. What do I do?

Do you plan on incubating them, or letting the hens do it? If you are going to do it, then collect the eggs everyday.

I plan on incubating myself. I have had good luck with it in the last couple of years.

I incubate my Mandarin eggs myself, and have been doing fine with it. Just put in 12 and all 12 are growing.

I collect the Mandarin eggs every evening.

yep, I always pulled too, you should get a few more that way.
I did always leave one, cause some will abandon the nest if you take them, and when you are pulling them, make sure she isnt in the box, if you keep running her out, she'll. 1) break eggs, or 2) abandon it.
Take a pencil with you an put an X or some mark on todays egg, tomorrow, collect it and put an X on the new one.
Do that and you'll be in perfect shape
Congrats on the birds laying
