i have two litters of zebra finches, total of 6, 2 female and 4 male. i have been finding eggs not knowing where there coming from. i have 2 open nest and just added a burrow (tunnel made of hay) and hung it at the highest peak. two (one male, one female) of them started immediately building their nest inside. i am now waiting to see if they are the culprits of the egg laying. the answer is yes, brother and sisters mate. you have the option of throwing or keeping the eggs, that's your prerogative. do you want more? i have looked into adopted them out with no success. and i would never just let them go, they would never survive outside of Australia.
Yes, in the wild, zebra finches tend to mate with siblings if no other options are available. However, in captive settings where options are more varied, they are less likely to mate with siblings. Breeding closely related individuals can result in genetic issues and decreased fitness of offspring.

Society finches can lay 3 to 6 eggs. When laying eggs it usually has one egg a day until its done laying. When the hen is done laying the eggs the male and the female will sit on those eggs. It will 14 to 21 days for those eggs to hatch. If the eggs do not hatch after 21 days, you should throw those eggs away. Then the finches will mate again.
Have 2 pair of mated finches and one spare male Can you place the male in either of the cages or keep him separate until you get him a mate?
It's best to keep the spare male separate until you get him a mate to prevent any potential aggression between the birds. Once you find a suitable mate for him, you can introduce them slowly and monitor their interactions to ensure they bond well.

Do ducks mate?
Moscovy ducks are capable of breeding and producing offspring. If crossed with other ducks however they will produce sterile offspring, like a mule. the cross between a horse and donkey or a zebra crossed with a horse. If you go to a local pond and watch in the spring you will see them buzzing around with whole troops of ducklings. That means the males posses the aparatus to mate with as you inquired.

Yes, brother and sister gerbils will mate once sexual maturity hits.
