I think my hen is sitting?

[anonymous99]

I went outside to let my ducks out today and one of my hens was sitting on her nest and she wouldn’t go out. She’s been sitting on her nest for quite awhile today. She went outside once today and that’s all. One of the males tried to mate with her and she didn’t even try to leave or anything. I checked some of the eggs yesterday and i think some of them are fertile. I can’t have anymore ducks or ducklings, so I think i may sell them. The thing is, my hens are only a year old, so I have no experience in selling ducklings or letting my hens hatch any. I only let one male stay with the girls and he doesn’t seem to mistreat them, but they do seem to prefer to mate when they’re outside. My girls do make a strange noise sometimes. I can’t explain how it sounds, but it’s kinda like a squeaky noise, expect it doesn’t really sound squeaky?? How can i go about with selling ducklings if or when the time comes? Also, how does the mom take care of ducklings? Like, what do they eat? Does the mom feed them?
Edit: I went to check on her and she hissed at me.

If you don't want ducklings, take the eggs away. Planning to sell is a gamble.
If the male mates them, the eggs are fertile but they only grow with a day or so of being sat on.

I agree finding a home for extra drakes is very hard main reason I don't let my ducks brood. Your going to have drakes.
Take the eggs up and not let her sit.
