    A Couple of Duck questions

    One of my muscovy ducks has just started building a nest the question is can i move the nest to another location or will the duck lose interest. Second question do ducks prefer to use steps or a ramp to get into a raised shelter but it's not very high of the ground. Thanks.

    Plus the white can be like a gel compared to a chicken egg.
