I don't normally have an occasion to be messing with her on the nest so I don't know. I know She's not one of the friendlier ones as far as taking treats or coming near me on a normal basis.Is she just doing it since Brooding or any time you come to get eggs? We have some hens that are pretty adamant about being disturbed while laying/setting they also do the bite twist thing. some just peck a couple will actually try to peck the egg. Like if I can't have it nobody can kinda thing. ornery Girls. Never have a problem with the boys
I don't really advocate messing with broody birds on nests but with these calls sometimes They get stuck and need just a little help getting the rest of the way out.
Sometimes the mama duck will help them sometimes not.
I try not to interfere too much. But I've found so far I am darned if I do and darned if I don't.
It sucks to go out there and see eggs nearly all the way zipped and the duckling dead inside.
