Hey, my duck won't leave her nest. It's been well over 4 weeks and her eggs won't be hatching but she's still sitting on them and wont let me near them. I cant imagine its healthy for her so what should I do? Let her eventually give up or remove the eggs from the nest? Will she go back to normal...
