Call duck hen-laying clutch?

[Table4Six]

My Silver Appleyard call duck hen has been consistently laying an egg every morning. Is she laying a clutch, and going broody? She had ten eggs yesterday, and laid an eleventh today. I wouldn’t mind her sitting on them, but already it seems like to many eggs for her little body. I took this yesterday when she was finished laying her egg.

Eat them.

Eat them.

I am wondering if she would go broody and hatch them. I have a BEI drake, so some of them will be fertile.

Ahhhh, hard to decide between ducklings and breakfast. Ducklings last longer

Very true. Thank you for your quick responses, I'll just have to wait and see if she consistently sits on them now.

She is def laying a clutch now whether she sits on them is another question. You can mark the eggs so if she does go broody you can remove the oldest so her clutch isn't so big.

My Calls always lay in the same nesting spots weather I removed the eggs or not. Doesn't mean she will go Broody. If she begins to cover the eggs with bedding before she leaves then she is Broody.
