Hi all!
My duck has gone broody inside my chicken coop... she’s not in a nesting box, but I’m not quite sure how to keep any ducklings that may hatch safe from the chickens.
I have no idea how many eggs she is sitting on, but I was able to peek a few days ago and it seems to be a good-sized clutch. I would say she’s been sitting a little over a week now.
Do I risk moving her nest and disturbing the eggs? I’m afraid she will abandon them! I’ve had a duck go broody before, but it was out in the yard and I was able to make a good sized protected area for her and pretty much let her be... thanks for any help!
