My duck disappeared about a month ago. I didn't know my duck had about 12 eggs. The father is still around, but idk if he sits on the eggs or what. What should I do with the eggs?

I am sure you don't have an incubator but you need a warm area to keep them. You could try a box with a light but I think you need to keep the temperature around 99 degrees and a bit humid.
Keep the eggs in an environment that is between 98 an 101 degrees, better too cold than too hot.
Rotate the eggs one half turn one to two times a day. Keep the eggs moist. This can be done by spraying them with a light mist every time you rotate them. When it come time for the eggs to hatch, you will see the beak of the ducklings poke through the shell, at this time be sure you do not assist the hatching process, they will come out on there own time.
Thank you all I Read a lot you are a lot of help
We farm, and have chickens and ducks. The males only sit on them for very short periods of time to relieve the female while she eats. If it has been a month, they need to be pitched as they will attract snakes and such
It takes 28-35 days for an egg to hatch. You need to keep them in an incubator or they won't hatch.
It seems you are saying the eggs are at least one month old? If that is the case, since ducks only lay one egg per day, at least one of the eggs is 30 days + 12 days old (or more?).
