DESTROYED NEST

[AshleyNicole06]

My golden 300 is sitting on her nest..it's day 16 today..
Another duck got in there last night and destroyed her whole nest she had built. The eggs are okay, not cracked but are spread around everywhere!
She's still trying to sit on them.
Will the eggs be okay? Will she rebuild her nest? Continue to sit?
Any ideas how I can keep her blocked from the others??

A large wired dog crate is an effective broody nest to keep other ducks from joining her. If she hasn't been bothered until now, you could probably leave the door open all day and just shut it at night so that doesn't happen again.
The eggs will probably be all right as long as they didn't get too cold or cracked. I would put them all back under her and don't worry about an actual nest. She will likely rebuild that on her own.
If she still sitting now, I would imagine she would continue to sit, but we obviously can't know for sure. Ducks all have their own individual personalities and preferences.

I was thinking about adding a door to her house.. but wasn't sure.

She has her own private house?

She has her own private house?

Yes.

 

[Isadora]

Yes.

I would definitely block off the door at night.

Block it off at night. She seems like a Lucky Duck! Keep us updated on if they hatch, please!

I'm going to be putting a door on it after work. She remade her nest.. I checked before leaving for work and she was also sitting.
