Babies

[FatMamma]

So I’m going to let my female be a momma she laid 4 eggs and secured them in her nest she made... my questions are 1. Is this a food idea? 2. Will the males kill the babies? 3. If they do hatch should I separate the babies from the mom or the 2 makes?

Can she come outside daily and eat drink and bathe and above all poop? you def don't want broody poop on those eggs. You'll need to give her and ducklings a safe space for at least 2-3 weeks so mama and babes have a chance to get real bonded and ducklings are able to get away from any drakes that might want to harm them. Drakes can be unpredictable. How many drakes do you have? I can't imagine why you'd want to separate the mama from her ducklings. She care for them and teach them all things ducks and it's so enjoyable watching it.

Yes she has lots of space to run around poop free, I keep their area very clean... I have two drakes... so I will just make her and the babies are separated from the drakes to make sure the babies don’t get hurt...

Thank you
