That brings up a question for me. I have a duck that I decided to let try to sit. She's got 12-13 eggs now, but is only sitting about half the day. She wanders around most of the evening. I marked the first 8 eggs, but haven't marked since. I was thinking of removing the older eggs.
Darnit, just checked and she's off the nest now. Maybe she is still adding to it? What would you suggest?
If she's not sitting steady, I'd count eggs and see if she adds anymore in the next couple days..if she does, I'd mark all the eggs and then when she is sitting steady, remove the oldest and leave under what she can cover...
If she doesn't lay in the next couple days and is still sitting sporadically, I'd say she's either thinking about going broody or thinks she is, just isn't good at it.
How long has she been at it? I'd candle a couple n see if there's any development
