Duck sitting on 4 duck eggs, don't know how long they have been there?

[Skipper Carnes]

Hey BYC friends, my duck, Cocoa, has been sitting on 4 duck eggs. We found her today in the woods on her nest. I have no idea how long she has been there, but I think she is trying to collect a clutch. How do I relocate her to a safer location?

I have never successfully moved a setting duck. Do you have an incubator in case she breaks broodiness?

We have lent it to a friend but should be getting it back soon. When we do, we will finish the hatch in an incubator.

I haven't, either.

She might get eaten if you let her stay on her nest in the woods.
