Duck nest

[Amrobblee]

hey guys!
So my female ducks haven’t been laying eggs for a while and I didn’t really think anything of it but when I went out to check on my ducks a few mornings ago I was missing one girl and I found her tucked in a corner of her run sitting on a ton of eggs! I live in CO where nights are still about 15-20 degrees, is it too cold for the eggs? This is the first time one of my females has made a nest, should I just leave her alone? I have no idea how long she’s been incubating them for

She will be okay if I touch her eggs?

You do run the risk of her abandoning the nest. The question is do you want babies or not?

Quite possibly i think it depends how good the mother is.
