okay i am dumb, some one said ducks dont have to mate to lay eggs they just have eggs wich make no sense to me can some one help me

Answers:

Yes it is true a duck will lay eggs during the spring of the year whether there is a male around or not.A duck can be kept completely isolated and when spring comes generally beginning in March or April she will begin laying eggs.Laying and egg has nothing to do with the male bird.All he doe's is fertilize what she is already going to lay.The same applies to chickens and most all birds.

A duck's eggs are just like the eggs produced by a woman's ovaries...I don't need a man to have the eggs, but I do need a man if I want them fertalized. A duck will produce eggs, but no baby ducks will come out of them unless a male duck has done his part.

You're funny! You just made me laugh--Thanks! :)

i've heard that about chickens too

Female birds do not need a male around to lay eggs. However those eggs will remain just that: eggs. They will not develop and hatch into a chick unless the egg is fertilized by male.
