Easter, my Americana hen has been broody for about three weeks now. I have been leaving at least one of Amble's (Wyandotte) eggs in the nest. I am getting fertile DUCK eggs tomorrow. My question is: can I put a couple in her nest and how long will she stay broody? Do they give up after about 30 days?
 
I have a broody who sat on her nest for 2 months till she heard a baby she was not satisfied. I finally gave her a new chick from the incubator.
