Duck on eggs

[mbearrentine]

This is our girl (we were told Swedish as a duckling), we call her mutt duck because we have no clue what she is. She mated with our mallard and is sitting on eggs. The couple out of 14+ I candled were moving inside today. Is it okay to take them all out and candle them when she’s up? Or is it best to leave them be. I just would like to know how many and get the bad eggs out. We’ve always incubated and I’ve never had a real broody duck. I’m not sure how long she’s been sitting, maybe a couple of weeks. Any tips? Thanks!

I would leave them alone, but if you can rapidly complete the candling - that's your choice.
