Maybe you can take a video of them not staying still, and then screen shot the video!

Good idea! Will go try now, thanks!

Will add a pic in a bit. Can’t get my ducks to stay still lol.

No worries! We’ll wait for you to get your ducks in a row

This is my Black Australorp hen, Rocky. She's 4 years old, and has gone broody 3 years in a row. I wanted to add some more chickens to my flock this year, so I decided to let her raise chicks. She is an amazing mom, and she takes really good care of her 4 chicks. Her babies are 13 weeks old now, and she still sleeps with them in the nest!

This is her with one of her babies now:

Yeah my Miss Eggysness also tried to sleep the chicks in the nest for too long. So I had to close it off so they didn’t learn to sleep in the nests as adults and keep spoiling them up.

I’m not sure if this counts, but my black Bantam Cochin was sitting on two eggs, nothing developed, then I gave her another egg, also a dud, so I picked her up a couple babies, because at this point she’d been sitting over 4 weeks.

Sunflower is the mama, with Cloud (lakeshore Egger) and Zoey (cuckoo maran).

Buff Orpington. She sat on over 30 eggs (not all hers; they were all laying there) and 18 hatched. She was starving herself from the first day she set on them to the day she kicked them out of her feathers. It was so much fun to see her teaching her chicks to scratch and eat. This was her first season laying.
