Broody Duck; how to let her hatch ducklings without any interfering

[DaffytheDuck20]

Hello! We have once again got a broody duck. Last time this happened I beleive I interfered too much which made unsettled which led to a very unsucessful hatch... so this time I want to just let her do it on her own with the as minimal interfering as possible. We are probably already about 10-12 days in with about 15ish (most likely) fertile eggs. She is currently in a little old dog house in the run where all the ducks lay eggs. (it is enclosed and we can lock them all in there but can also let them out to the big run) I have also noticed that when she occasionly comes off that one of our other ducks has become a bit dominate aggresuve with her... would she possibly kill the duckling? Would we need to seperate them? My dream is to have a lovely family of ducks with a mama and ducklings all peacefully living together lol...


Sorry lol alot of the above is me just rambling on. Any tips on what should be down and not done?

You can put a little fence around the dog house nest area to keep them safe. I’ve been getting little dog pens on Facebook marketplace like this I got a few and hook them together
