Woke up to find momma on the eggs and daddy standing guard right at my front door in a flower bed. My dog is going ape shite and the kids play basketball every night in the driveway.

So you're saying duck and duck eggs are on the menu the next couple of days?
Nice.
Nice.

Prayers sent. Ducks can be some mean son of a guns.

I wouldn't. You don't know fear until you've pissed off a momma duck.

Absolutely you can move them. Are you skeered of a little tweety bird?

I meant move them to a safer spot and ducks won't abandon them.

Isn't it just slightly illegal to disturb certain kinds of nesting ducks and their eggs?

How are the authorities going to find out?

That's when you make a roux.

Or you could just Google "do ducks abandon eggs if you move them"

The momma duck will be tough to move. She may sit on the eggs after you move it, but once they hatch she may not be able to nurse them. A duck's milk production can be stunted by traumatic experience. If she does not care for them, you will need to go to a vet to get a duck milk substitute and that stuff ain't cheap. Good luck.

Had the same issue. Left em alone and now they are hatched. Profit, 8 New ducks in the creek now.
