I have 3 call ducks 2 Male's and 1 female. They all get on Reilly well. Hanny has stared laying her eggs under the bush in there in closer. will they hatched or do i take them away. She sits on them all night until late morning. and then she comes out and feeds for a couple of hours then goes back until morning the to boy's Bob and Charlie stand guard over her. Is there any thing i should be doing or do i leave her to it.
 
Is this her first time trying to hatch? Calls can be tricky to hatch so I personally would allow her to try to hatch them.
 
I wouldn't allow her to hatch more than 10. I'd probably be more likely to try 6-8 maximum. Also I reread your original post and it said that you had 2 males and a female. Are those the only ducks in that area? I'm afraid you're going to run into problems with that ratio especially if you try have ducklings in there with them.
 
Hi yes that is all ive got they have all grown up together. what are the problem's i could run into with them they all seam to get on. i have taken 5 out and incubating in doors.
