Searched last night on their nesting and brooding habits and it seems they lay on average 10-12 eggs but if the nest is disturbed often no more or try again but with a smaller number. So it seems there is an annual limit to their egg laying capacity that ducks perhaps don't have so much. Found 15 more yesterday for a grand total of 28. Might have to take some down to the farmers market at this rate!
