My hens have about 30 eggs no one seems interested in setting now they are laying eggs in other parts of shed how long should I wait before I collect the eggs and just go back to twice day collection
 
I had this happen once, had two broody and everyone else was laying in the nest. They quit sitting on them but I was able to salvage 3 viable eggs from the 30 and incubated those. I'd say don't leave them if you don't have a dedicated sitter and 30 is too many for a duck to adequately cover.
 
Thank you I think I’m gonna collect the eggs & go back to collecting 2x day we live on a lake & they can free roam plus they have a nesting shed they get pelleted duck feed plus cracked corn fresh veggies meal worm & oyster shell available daily they seem happy no stress unless I’m 1 minute late with their breakfast lol
