A mallard duck made her nest on the side of our household and thus far has laid an egg a day for the past 9 days, totaling 8 in the nest and 1 outside about a foot away. How many eggs will she lay in total and why did she kick out the one egg? If anyone can give use information on mallard ducks and them laying eggs, that would be fantastic!

Would a mallard nest in a tree?
I live in minnesota and I have a female mallard in a big hole in one of my trees. I’ve never seen her leave so I’m assuming she has eggs. I thought at first it was a wood duck but upon closer inspection it is a mallard. I’m unable to see inside very well as it is pretty high up. Just curious as if this is possible as I thought mallards only nested on the ground.
