Sometimes, a mom duck doesn’t want to nest-sit her eggs so she deposits them in the nest of a more mature duck. We’ve observed this several times in early spring...

My husband and I were discussing cow birds this morning; we were wondering how that kind of nest-parasitism develops as a trait. Cow birds will choose any of many kinds of species’ nests; and some females show a preference for a particular species.

There's no way that female could protect all those ducklings from a motivated predator...That's it. Blame it on the irresponsible single mom... ;)

Poor demented Democrats & Whoopi Goldberg took 1 look at this pic and got livid crazy mad!
Whoopi almost blew a mental gasket as she was heard ranting "now you see what I'm talking about how women are being oppressed and being burdened with the costs & penalty of bearing & raising kids. If I was nearby when they came on land I would not hesitate to stomp and kill all those ducklings when no one is looking, I mean just look at me! I am very proud of my 6 abortions too and I'm doing my part to save the earth! "

I’m no expert but I believe other birds will use a competitor’s nest for hatching their young.

Yes, there seem to be several that do under different conditions; but the Cowbird is the North American one I’m familiar with that does it always.

More than likely. When I was a pup, we raised chickens. In general, the Asiatic breeds (Cochins, Brahamas) made great mothers. The lighter egg laying breeds like Leghorns did not.
We had a side business of renting out or (for the right price) selling hens to people who wanted to raise chicks the old fashioned way. One of our Brahama hens (she was a keeper) acquired 22 chicks one summer. Only 9 were her own. The others came from failed mama hens. Just like people, some of them are just too lazy, too stupid or whatever to care for their own.

Is it a duck? From the angle of the photo it kinda looks like a grebe or loon to me. Still, that’s a lot of little ones to watch over.
