My duck has been sitting on her eggs every night but spends the day out and about as normal all this week. I noticed she lined the nest with feathers this morning. There’s only six eggs in the nest and she hasn’t layed in two days, do you think she’s going broody?

Possible. Rare I think for domestic ducks to brood, they usually get bored and give up. If you can, candle the eggs with a flashlight.

Is that right? She was hatched out by one of my broody ducks last spring.

She made the nest at the beginning of last week, stopped laying 2 days ago and has now lined the nest with feathers, I guess we’ll just have to see if she does set.
It’s been snowing outside all week aswell, unusual for her to go broody at this time of the year.

Just have to watch out for the quick. They bleed a lot if quick is cut but I do think I have read about ducks getting a pedi. Oops sorry @Andrew Myers weaseled in on your thread

Your fine lol. And ik I showed a duck at fair and it placed it's toe weirdly and pushed up the toe nail. MY ENTIRE BODY WAS COVERED IN BLOOD.
