Broody ducks recovery time?
From those of you who have had broody ducks, how long should I expect them to stick with it beyond the 28 days of incubation time? The first one started to sit on her nest probably 2 months ago. Their eggs have hatched, which they tried to kill, and I am wrapping up the last two stragglers in... -

My broody Muscovy

I saw her come off then a couple of days ago for a drink but then she sat back on them. But I’m just...- Northwest boy

Do Swedish Drakes ever sit on eggs?
I have 2 Cayugas and 2 Swedish ducks. One Cayuga has gone broody. One of the Swedish ducks we are 90% sure is a male. It's larger than the other 3, specifically its head, and has a green sheen to its plumage on its head like they say the males do. It doesn't have a sex feather but I've heard...- veetown707

Broody duck?
I usually collect all my birds’ eggs everyday but today I was busy and forgot. When I went to put them to bed I was watching them and saw my duck Jemima (a 6 month old golden 300) nuzzle her clutch of eggs and nestle down onto them to keep them warm (so cute!!). I’ve never seen her or my other...- Vegan Mountain Mama
