Hello! I'm brand new to this forum. We've had ducks for a few years now but have a duck sitting on a nest for the first time so my ignorance is stressing me out!! We first noticed one of our girls (Penny) decide to sit on the nest on April 14th. She has been a great and dutiful mama-to-be and so we have been trying to stay out of her way as much as possible. This morning I noticed that she had moved all but 4 eggs out of the "egg box" but very carefully and built a new nest (so she didn't just roll them away and ignore them). At first she was sitting on the new nest so I didn't worry too much, thinking I could sneak the other 4 into the new nest or worst case scenario losing 4 wouldn't be that bad, but now I went out and she is just sitting on the 4, leaving all of the others un-sat-on (lol). So, does anyone know what the heck she is doing? And what I should do? I don't want to lose all those babies!
