You might also choose the small wood duck house for those ducks that use dump nesting. When this occurs, a number of females lay eggs in a single house, resulting in as many as 70 or more eggs in a single clutch. The smaller nest box was designed to reduce this from occurring. While this prevents as many fledglings from being produced in each box, the survival rate is improved with the use of the smaller duck house and the cost per fledgling is less.
