my mallard hen started sitting on her eggs after she laid 9 eggs. everything till now is going fine she only gets off the eggs twice a day for around 20 mins to eat and swim. since this is the first time i am taking care of a duck which is sitting on her eggs i wanted to ask a few questions .
1.is it okay that i leave my pen door open throughout the day and night? (the drake always stands gaurd outside the pen and even tries to chase me off when i am refilling their feed!)
2. will the drake harm the ducklings after/while they hatch?
3.my hen has been sitting for four days now and she laid 2 more eggs during this period is it normal that they lay eggs even while sitting? (she now sits on 11)
