How Long Does It Take A Duck To Lay An Egg After It Has Been Fertilised?

When a female duck produces an egg and she mates with a drake how long does it take for her to lay the egg? Is it immediately or does it take more time if it is fertilised?

    Ducks are monogamous. It means that they have one mate only. A duck can lay up to 200 eggs per year.  Egg can be produced by duck and certain time regardless of fertilization. If the egg is due on the next day then she will lay egg whether fertilized by male or not. If you separate male from her, she can continue to lay fertilized eggs for many days. So fertilization is the normal process for the reproduction and egg laying in birds can be fertilized or unfertilized. If your male duck has fertilized your female today, then she can continue to lay fertilized eggs for many days due to this mating.
