Are Ducks like Chickens when they go broody? Do they sit all the time? I keep waiting for my gal to sit still on her nest, she has 7 or 8 eggs (last I counted was 7, my daughter just told me there are 8 though). I just want to make sure when to start "counting" days for chicks.
And with Call Ducks, how long is incubation? I know some said it was shorter than the 28 days of full sized ducks.
This is our first time with call ducks and this pair I hope has some "magic" going on. Do you candle these eggs sneak out and try to sneak it out from under them? I would worry about the momma abandoning them.
Also, I have a deep water tray in their pen. Do I want to take that out and do a shallow one in case of drowning? I wanted to build a whole new pen but they started this nest and I don't want them to abandon them. Anyone ever move a nest on a gal and she keep at it?
Thanks all you ducky experts!
