Hi all,
A couple of days ago a duck laid an egg in our garden, and seems to have abandoned it.
According to Google, they lay 8-12 eggs in their nests, at a rate of 1 per day, and then when all eggs have been laid, they sit on them to incubate them. Sometime later all the eggs hatch over a 48 hour period.
However, a duck laid on in our garden, on the lawn rather than in a nest, has not laid anymore and appears to have abandoned it.
Help.... What do I do?
I really hope the egg has not been abandoned and the embryo will survive.
