Broody Duck wont go in at night. Neighbor to the rescue.
This is Bubbles. Shes been getting more and more broody, and been hiding her eggs in this nest. She hasn't been sitting all that long until two nights ago when she would not get up to go back in the coop for the night. We were out there pondering what to do when our neighbor saw us and came... -

I've been reading here for months, might as well join up!
Greetings! I've been reading the forum for a while gathering advice and I figured I would finally join up. I am new to ducks, and am heading into my first winter with them here in NY. I got started in the ducks because I have a very wet yard. When it rains, it takes weeks for it to dry up. I...- Sinister
