Sleeping Blekinge ducks. Females can lay 70–100 white-colored eggs a year with an average weight for the eggs being 70–80 grams and the female can expect to lay on the eggs for 28 days before they hatch. [6] [7]
[8]: 70 Ducks may lay some 100–150 large eggs per year. [14] At the beginning of the laying season the eggs are dark and may be almost black; they gradually lighten to the usual pale greenish blue or almost to white by the end of the season. [3] [8]: 70 If they are to be hatched, the incubation time for the eggs is 28 days. [4]
Black scoters nest later than most other ducks in North America. Pairs form in late winter or spring. The lined nest is built on the ground close to the sea, lakes or rivers, in woodland or tundra. 5–7 eggs are laid. Each eggs weighs from 60–74 g (2.1–2.6 oz), or 8% of the females body weight. The incubation period may range from 27 to 31 ...
Rouen ducks, whose mallard-like coloration made them less valuable, lay eggs from early February and take six months to grow large enough to eat. [6] As a consequence, Aylesbury ducks were sold primarily in the spring and summer, and Rouen ducks in the autumn and winter. [6] [note 2]
Early season nests see an average of 9.0 eggs per clutch while late clutches see an average of 6.4 eggs per clutch. There is an inverse relationship between egg weights and laying sequence, [29] wherein earlier eggs are larger than eggs laid later in the sequence. It is possible to induce a female coot to lay more eggs than normal by either ...
There is no evidence of nests, but they mate during rainy seasons in the months of June to September. The females lay cream-colored eggs, and the chicks have sooty-black heads, yellowish bodies, and an additional orange tinge to the chin, neck, and face. These chicks weigh approximately 35-46 grams upon hatching. [5]
The eggs are generally incubated by both parents equally, for roughly a month (28–31 days), until chicks begin to hatch at about 25 days. [18] Hatchlings generally weigh about 21 g and are unable to thermoregulate on their own; [ 18 ] they are brooded for approximately 5 days until they are able to thermoregulate, after which they are only ...
