2013年4月17日 · I was wondering if anyone could help me. A mallard duck made a nest & so far has laid about 6 eggs roughly 6 ft away from my side door we use often. This is a first. I cannot understand why she picked this spot. We have a golden retriever that found the nest, which is when I saw it, only one egg at that time. I have kept him away since.

2010年4月7日 · There is a mention of it being illegal to move a wild mallard duck eggs. I know it would be very sad for the duck to loose her nest again..but maybe if the company whose responsibilty it is to flush the drains knew the nest was there- the flush could be postponed - or a local wildlife organisation can try to relocate her safely. Edited to add...

2013年5月14日 · I live in a residential area of town in Upper Michigan. Last week, I noticed a wild duck (I think its a Mallard) wandering in my front yard and then found a nest with 11 eggs under a bush in a small flower garden in my front yard! Last week she was leaving the nest and crossing the street. She met up with a male duck a couple times across the ...

2021年7月19日 · Pictured below are the eggs she laid last week. fairy eggs. the one day she laid 3 fairy eggs and 2 soft shells(not pictured). have you ever seen anything like it? I just gave her 1ml of calcium gluconate 23% over some mealworms. She was "nesting" again this morning, but nothing. Acting very fine and normal.

2010年6月10日 · 3 days later I get the food dishes and water basin into the duck house for the babies. With food in the duck house and sitting on eggs, this is a very dangerous time for the Ducks. They are easy prey for predators, so protect them. That is why I like to have a few camera's inside the duck house. Obviously you have a Drake.

2016年10月22日 · A duck nesting at my work died and we found her 6 babies wandering around so I took them in. They hatched about a week ago. They're wild mallards but I've had them since they were a day old so they won't be able to be released. I've been hand feeding them and giving them lots of attention so they're well socialized.

2021年4月17日 · My family has some wild mallard duck eggs in a bush in our backyard. She was pretty good at keeping up with sitting on her eggs, but since yesterday she has been gone. She left behind about 7 eggs last time we counted, but she is still missing. We are concerned since the weather is getting colder, and it is supposed to snow soon.

2014年12月27日 · One of my mallard ducks started a nest and laid 2 beautiful green eggs, then all of a sudden stopped ...

2019年3月3日 · I’m building mallard nesting tubes, and wonder if Muscovy will try using them. Any thoughts?

2012年1月11日 · Something fishy going on. With the other duck gone but eggs left I'm going to go with some type of predator. You may have good luck with the eggs. I had someone bring me eggs from a mallard nest that were a cpl days old. They had mowed some hay and the mom had laid in the middle of the hay field, luckily the eggs weren't hurt.
