Unlike chickens, ducks do not prefer to lay their eggs in a nest box. In fact, in my experience, Pekin ducks will lay their eggs wherever they happen to be sitting at the time - some will even lay an egg while swimming in the water.
If you truly feel the need to provide your Pekin duck with a nest box, a simple, three-sided plywood box should suffice.

Is your rabbit is pregnant she rabbit has built a nest but she took her nest out of the box the day after it rained does this mean she is not pregnant or is she letting the nest dry since it is wet?

My rabbit is pregnant she made a bed 2 weeks ago an still no babys the past 2 days she wont let me near here an she been grunting a lot is this a sign of being in labor?
If your rabbit made a nest 2 weeks ago and hasn't had babies yet, she isn't going to. Grunting is probably a sign that she is ready to breed and don't be surprised if she is pretty aggressive. You should breed your doe, count out 30 days on your calendar - that is the day she is due- count 27 days within the 30- that is the day you put a nest box in with her so she has time to build a nest before the babies get there. She should not have a nest box all the time. Be sure you put the nest box in a corner of her cage that IS NOT her potty corner. If you do she will use it for a potty (like a cat litter box).
Will a female duck ever leave her eggs?
Yes. The duck will sit on the clutch of eggs until they hatch in about 28 days from when she starts to sit on them. She does leave for short periods to eat and drink when there is nobody around. Be patient, the eggs will hatch, and soon there will be a brood of ducklings.

Bring it inside, and put the eggs in an incubator. If you don't have one then put them under a very powerful lamp in a box or cage. Hope this helps!
