I have had ducks for about three years now, and have had them lay eggs before but I have never had a Hen sit on the eggs before so I am new to all this.

She has been sitting on the nest for about a month now and we have candled her eggs and noticed that there definitely is some ducklings in the eggs. The only thing is i have 6 ducks and the hen has her nest in the main house. The other ducks always bother her and she gets very angry and agitated. This morning when i went out there was two eggs out of the nest and some other duck had cracked open an egg and there was for sure something in it. One of the other hens had another egg that was fertile and was carrying it around. I would really like to move the hens nest to a better location where she can be alone, but i do not know if i will be able to move the nest. I guess my main question is can i move the nest? If I move it will she still sit on it... i just really need some tips on how to go about all this... anything will be appreciated!


Thank You Very Much!
 
I was going through the same thing and Miss Lydia had said to move the nest and the momma to a safer and quieter place. She had moved the nest in a dog crate. If you look under the title of "moving a nest " that might help.
Good luck with everything! This is so exciting! My husband keeps telling me "no more ducks" (I'm sort of turning a deaf ear)
