broody duck

[12 gauge]

Hi I have a broody duck that has been on 3 nests in the last 2 or 3 months and only 1 has hached what do we do?

Do you mean only one egg hatched?

 

[12 gauge]

yeah. we had to help it out fire ants were inside the egg with the duckling and now the ducklings bill is all folded up on the sides of it poor thang

Poor thing. I hope he gets better.

Best of luck!


As for your question of what to do: You could get the momma some new ducklings, and if her own duckling isn't too badly deformed or injured you could just let her keep that one.
