Hey this is my first time that I have had a duck that is sitting on a clutch of eggs, I have had many chickens hatch eggs before but never ducks so I I don’t know if this is weird or normal coz my chickens never did this but my duck keeps on moving the clutch of eggs. I thing over the period of 15 days she moved about 1 metre from original spot don’t know if it’s something to worry about
 
My last broody duck moved her nest a few feet too, but i think it was because she was getting a little rained on. (she built her nest right next to my house, so I set up a temporary fence around her and a temporary cover that leaked a little). Didn't seem to bother the eggs too much.

But her first clutch last year, she never moved.

so can you think of any reason why she is moving it?
