I assume they're infertile, as we had to rehome our drake 2 months ago when he became overly aggressive with us.
She started laying eggs 10 days ago, I didn't remove the first one as she was protective and didn't realize she was laying daily - there are now about 9 eggs in her nest and she's spending lots of time on them. She does go out and free range a lot too though, and while she's up one of my chickens lays Her egg in the duck nest! My duck turns them and is very nurturing ..
What to do? I was thinking of letting her do her thing, then maybe after the incubation time ill slip in a few ducklings?
Thoughts?
