Yes, my wood ducks (male and female) are all almost 4 years old. Only one female lays eggs at my house though. She has laid 3 batches of eggs this year. Her last batch laid and hatched were in the fall. All batches had at least 10-16 eggs each batch. This may be because I always have a pile of rolled corn out for all of the ducks to eat, and a spot that she likes to lay her eggs. Also, I raised my ducks from babies, so they might be healthier than most wild ducks. Hope this helped!
Tip - If you are raising them, make sure you feed them un-medicated food. Give the mom some rolled corn, or any other variety of duck food.

∙ 14y agoMallard females lay one egg a day. They can lay up to 12 eggs in the nest, the eggs remain dormant until the female has finished laying, she then sits on them to incubate the eggs. It can take about three weeks for the eggs to hatch, this way, all the ducklings hatch within hours of each other, and are ready to follow the mother as a group.

∙ 13y agoNo they don't. They are never far away though. I live on the water and have the opportunity to watch a female as she sits on her eggs every year. She sits and sits and sits, but she also leaves to eat and drink. If she senses danger to herself, she will also leave the nest. When the incubation period is nearing, a male mallard also sits nearby. I don't know if this is the norm, but it happens every year. It's great!
