A Question About Ducks - Broodiness?

[Daniel_2kaii9]

should i leave the shed door open so the 2 white ones can go out into the run because thay might break the eggs or keep them all in the shed what one is best ?

I think you should let all of them be able to go into the run.
Even the broody will need to take breaks.
Those are pretty ducks. I couldn't tell which one is the drake because I didn't see a drake feather.

Another few questions anwered please.

I am new to ducks this year. Our 4 mo. black swed is just now laying.

Question #1--Will they go broody only if they are mating? (never catch them but I do have a drake Kakhi, runner and cayuga.) The eggs do not look fertile right now.

Question #2-- Can you make a nest for them? They are penned up during the night, always and somedays but mostly free range during the day. She lays in the run (shared with chickens, geese, turkeys) and sometimes out in the grass. She has made a nest in my ornamental grass but she cant stay out there all night.
I was thinking of getting a rubbermaid box and cutting a door for the duck if I left it on the ground of the run. What do you guys think? I would rather her be safe.
