D'Angelo N Va. :

They have not gone broody or you would not be getting eggs....they might start soon though.

Oh yeah. I now they're still laying... just all doing it in the same box. They're still coming out every morning. I separated the eggs into their nest boxes and showed them... guess we'll know how they take it soon. Silly ducks.​

That is a funny...and sweet story, Captain Cluck. Thanks for sharing.

@ScaredofShadows: Yes, don't you enjoy their broodiness?

I'd move them - While broody they may have little squabbles over stray eggs and kill the egg in the process, and I've seen scovy arguaments over ducklings once they've hatched, with the little tiny ducklings in the way..
Probably safer just not to risk it

Did they separate well?

i had two girls who laid in the same box, i tried moving eggs in different boxes but they just left the ones i moved and sat on the others. i ended up seperating them into different coops, they were crazy! end result was 40 eggs, 5 weeks of sitiing and zero ducklings! i no longer have them! usually one is more aggresive than the other and kicks them out.
