A female mallard duck incubates her eggs. Egg incubation is the process by which an egg, of oviparous (egg-laying) animals, develops an embryo within the egg, after the egg's formation and ovipositional release. Egg incubation is done under favorable environmental conditions, possibly by brooding and hatching the egg.
Quackodile Tears is a 1962 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Art Davis, during his spare time while working at Hanna-Barbera. [2] [3] The short was released on March 31, 1962, and stars Daffy Duck.
The eggs hatch in about 24–29 days, [5] The downy ducklings are grey, with paler upperparts, [19] and a white band on the neck, [14] and weigh 22–38 g (0.78–1.34 oz) within a day of hatching. Like all ducklings, they are precocial and leave the nest after a day or so, but the parents protect them until they fledge around nine weeks later ...
Average egg size is a breadth of 42.6–44.0 mm (1.68–1.73 in), a length of 58.1–60.6 mm (2.29–2.39 in) and a weight of 61.2–66.6 g (2.16–2.35 oz). [2] The incubation period ranges from 28 to 32 days. The female does all the incubating and is abandoned by the male about 1 to 2 weeks into incubation.
Some reptiles use incubation temperatures to determine sex. In some species, this follows the pattern that eggs in extremely high or low temperatures become female and eggs in medium temperatures become male. [14] Within the mechanism, two distinct patterns have been discovered and named Pattern I and Pattern II.
It has a clutch size of approximately 5–11 eggs, which are greenish drab. The chicks are covered in down at hatching and able to leave the nest soon after. [3] The canvasback sometimes lays its eggs in other canvasback nests and redheads often parasitize canvasback nests. [8] Drake canvasback stretching wings

The freckled duck has a standard incubation period of between 26 and 28 days, though some sources have recorded incubation periods of up to 35 days. The female is solely responsible for egg incubation and only leaves the eggs for short periods to feed. The average clutch is seven eggs, but can range between four and 14 eggs. [19]
