Ducks Free Roaming and my little Daisy Nests

[RichardWood3]

My ducks free roam and always go back at night into their enclosure, but Daisy my hen has laid a nest under some bushes. I have read ways to try and move it, but she is unprotected and I would rather take the risk and move than her get eaten by Coyotes.

My question.. is there a way to entice her to lay her nest in the safety of her enclosure?

Thank you.

Love my ducks..

I make small rooms for my females just using scrap plywood laid up against the wall and secured. Try putting eggs in the area but if she already has eggs in the nest she made then you can try picking up the nest by using a shovel scoop it up and move it to where you want her to sit. Then place her on the nest. If you can close her up that may help. Then again she may abandon the nest but she’ll be alive

I haven't had success moving Ducks nests. You definitely can try. I don't let my Ducks out to forage till after they lay in the morning.
