duck eggs nesting

[jersy87]

I have 3 female ducks and 2 males.

One female has been laying outside.
one female in the right corner of house
one female in left corner of house

Ive taken all the eggs and put them together in one nest. Will this work to get them to sit?

I don't thinks so. It's not the amount of eggs that makes them set.

It might work if you put them in one of the nests. Some breeds are much more likely to be broody than others. If you have a breed that doesn't brood, they won't. Good luck with it.

It is hard to say whether they will or not. Broodiness is triggered by hormones... you could do a lot of things to entice her but ultimately she'll only set a clutch when/if she's ready.
