will I have to incubate my female pekin duck's eggs for her, or can she do it on her own?

From what I've read Pekins do go broody but they aren't very good at sticking with it and hatching ducklings. It's probably easier for you to incubate her eggs. Or you could use a broody hen - they don't mind bringing up ducklings.

that's what I've read before, but I've also read that pekins are good brooders. I'm just let my pekin try! Dewey is the yellow duck of my profile pic

I do have some female chickens, but i don't want the ducklings to think that the chicken is their mom......
