Hello
I have 2 pekin ducks and a drake both of my ducks have made lovely nest's quite close to each other. 'Bonnie' started incubating her 14 eggs just over a week ago and she has so far been doing a great job. This morning i noticed the other duck 'Loretta' had also started to incubate hers she has 16 eggs in her nest. But this evening i noticed Bonnie had left her nest and was sat on loretta's
So i moved bonnie off the nest and guided her towards her own she did eventually sit on her own nest again. But now i am worried that she has spent too much time off her own. Her nest felt cool but not freezing, How long can eggs go un-incubated for? And any idea why she has kicked loretta off her nest and left her own.
I am very new to keeping ducks so any advise or information would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
