My duck is back on her nest full time with out her baby. I'm worries about giving her eggs back.. But I would like to see her have some babies. I think I'm really screwing this mess up, there is a lot of activity in her nest. The other girl duck lays a new egg in it every day, and my boy ducks are so fascinated with what she is doing. In wondering if they are breaking eggs. Would it be better to let the eggs be in the incubator or trying and get them back under mom and hope that she stays the course?
I certainly wouldn't go that way. The mom doesn't sound like she's reliably broody, and you'll lose the babies if she's on again/off again. We hatch almost all ours in an incubator. I think you're going to have better luck with something you can control because there's no way I know of to force a duck to be broody.
