Do ducks not poop while sitting?

[nettie]

As many of you know, i have ducks that live most of the time in my house. I have two crazy runners that are taking turns going broody, which is really weird for their breed. Currently, ming mei is sitting on a nest of unfertile eggs, maybe 8 or so. She'll sit on them the whole time shes in their pen. I let them out each night, diaper them, and let them run around the house. Ming Mei always is the last to come out, usually after Victor quacks at her to. Yesterday whe i let her out, she hoped onto the floor and pooped out the biggest ducky poop i have ever seen! It looked like the mess of a big dog! Maybe 6 inches by 2 inches? about an inch high! (sorry to be gross, lol). I was wondering if she wasn't going all day since she's sitting. And then when she finally got up, it finally came out? Anyone know how that works with ducks? lol

If you ever do see pop in the ducks nest tell him to get out, he'll break the eggs.

Broodie ducks like broodie chickens will only leave the nest briefly grab something to eat/ poop, then right back to work (sitting on eggs)

I have always wanted to know this!!
My female duck is over 2yrs old and have NEVER pooped in her nest. She is currently sitting on u fertilized eggs and have for 2mths and has done this off and on over the years and she has never pooped in her nest. She eats and goes in her pool several times a day and usually within a minute of letting her out she poops and after eating but never in her box(nest) inside.
Does anyone else have this happen??
