yup. She probably has 10 or so eggs under her. When she goes to eat, you can swoop in and hold a flashlight to the egg and you will probably see blood vessels or something. I noticed that the yolk moves until it starts to develop, then it doesn't roll around in there. Be quick but gentle, and try to put each one back just like you found it.
She will be very insistent that you stay away, at least mine are. One actually bites! So I wait for her to eat, then I check development. I have about 7 that have veins. and one I think will go rotten. This is why I check periodically. I am watching it.....
I found three had externally pipped, so I swiped them and hatched them inside with the help of a heat lamp. any ducklings out there will die, so I have to take them. Only one actually made i this time, but the last batch from a broody chicken all of them made it....I was overrun with ducklings!
