I know it sounds crazy but i don't want my mallard hen to go broody. She has already hatched a clutch this year and yesterday i noticed that when i let them all out that she started to hang out in the barn on top of the hay bails where she hatched her last clutch, then today i saw her walk by my drake pin and lay down for them like she wanted to be breed. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas because i really don't have the pin space for more ducklings right now.
 
If she does go broody put her in a cage with a wire floor and this will brake her. They say that the air flow under them is supposed to make them not want to go broody, or stop the broodiness I should say. I have not tried it but read it many many times.
