If your scovys eggs where fertile I would say let nature take its course...but....I would break her broodiness. No need brooding on infertile eggs. She will be much happier anyways. And maybe a little weird that you know where the neighborhood ducks live but it is fine..they probably know where you live. I always feel very happy when people have ducks etc so that is not weird.Random questions that have been floating around in my mind -
1) It has been 1 year since Daphne molted, and she only really molted her blue feathers last year. Her feathers are still in great shape. Will she molt anyways? Will she do a full molt this year? On that note, the ‘Scovies never really had a clear juvenile molt? By that, I mean that they just grew new feathers and never really seemed to lose any. Normal?
2) Is there anything wrong with letting a broody ‘Scovy do her thing without intervention? My littlest hen wants to be broody (she has the broody scolding squeak, she’s making an egg collection, she spends more time near her nest). If she decides to cross the line into full-on broodiness, do I need to interrupt it? Her eggs are infertile. If she wants to just chill on those eggs, how long will she sit if I don’t intervene?
3) Is it weird that I know where all of the other neighborhood ducks live and that I feel a certain level of happiness when I see that another person that has been “converted” into a duck person?

Yeah...less weird(I knew what you meant in the begging..just wanted to make a joke) I would go with what @Miss Lydia said about broody Muscovy...as I have never dealt with one before.It’s not that I drive around looking for ducks, I just remember them when I see them. Hopefully, that makes it less weird!
Goon 2 isn’t fully broody yet, but I was letting her accumulate a little collection as I can’t eat enough eggs to keep up. I guess I’ll clear them out. Goon 1 also has a collection, but she hasn’t shown any sign of becoming broody. Then again, she’s about two weeks behind Goon 2 in maturity.
