Will Pool Water Harm Ducks

Mallard ducks flew into our senior apartment pool area, mother is setting on 9 eggs. How long does it usually take to hatch? Also does pool water harm them?

Call your local humane society so they can direct you to a wildlife organization.

This website says chlorine is not harmful to ducks when used as directed.

It looks like duck eggs hatch in 28-33 days.

For the past few days we have had a mallard duck couple that has been visiting our pool. We have been scaring them away because we didn't want them in the pool. Today we discovered a nest that had one egg that we suspect was laid yesterday. She returned about 30 minutes later and that is when we discovered she laid another egg. I have been researching mallard ducks to find out more about them and I learned that they will return to lay more eggs.
