Hi there,
I have a hen mallard that has been sitting on a nest for about 20-25 days now. She started with 12 but now she only has 5. Every morning there has been another broken egg. We thought it was the other ducks breaking them, so we separated them and it stopped for a couple days, but...
I'm not at home right now to get pictures but, they were set up in one on those huge rabbit pens with the wire cage on top. If I had to guess it is about 6 feet long and 3 or 4 feet wide. And the food was the starter stuff the guy told me to buy from tractor supply.
They were about a little less than 2 months. Only one side was heated with a heat lamp. There poop was normal. I had a issue at the start with the poop getting clogged bit i had already taken care of that. And ever since then they have been fine.
