ducklings

[rise and swine]

if there are eggs at completely different stages of life and the mama duck already hatched two will she continue to sit on the rest of her eggs?

Most mothers will leave the nest somewhere around 36 hours after the first duckling hatches. Do you have an incubator or can you remove the ducklings and then return them once the last one hatches ?

i do not have an incubator so should i just keep the ducklings in a seperate area and will she still except it aafter the others hatch

You will have to make some kind of incubator. She already knows her ducklings hatched and she is going to leave the nest very soon

Well Katharina Duck must be a very patient Momma Duck then: Last August her first duckling hatched on Sunday early morning and the last one on Wednesday. All seven, three boys and four girls, made it to adulthood.
But then it is already unusual for an Indian Runner to go broody…
