How long do ducks lay their eggs only?

How long do mallard ducks eggs and just leave? I have a duck Mother Mallard eggs seven eggs. The eggs have not hatched yet but the type Terminex / bug man came and fear! My sister with something in the door and duck was gone! She was 2 and a half hours and went game already so I do not know what happened! The eggs are just sitting there! How long should I wait before calling the people of the birds? or handling of eggs? Help! Hurry!

Just leave the nest alone and keep everyone view – The mother duck should return when it does not feel threatened. If You can still see people around around the nest, he will not return. The eggs can be left only for some time – the duck who has all the same egg, incubation is not even started. It is safe for her is far from the nest for several days in the case. If you saw the eggs hatch active and has not returned within 24 hours, you should contact The Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Management migratory birds (guess it is a wild mallard duck). Receive either eggs or put you in contact with someone who is allowed to have eggs, so being able to deliver the eggs. They contact you local be found here: http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/contacts.htm Do not try to incubate your eggs – the United States, all populations of migratory birds protected by federal law (Migratory Treaty birds).
