egg question

[keldadog]

Hello! I have 5 ducks in an 8 x 16 enclosure, and all of the girls are laying eggs like mad. They've made one nest in their house and are everyone is using it. They've been laying eggs for about a week now and we're up to 15. Should I split the eggs into two groups or hope one duck goes broody and starts setting on the one nest?

Thanks!

I would collect the eggs everyday. If one of your ducks is going to go broody, she'll just do it, it won't matter if there is a pile of eggs there of not.
