Incubating Eggs

[Jme2283]

My magpie duck has at least six fertilized ducklings in her nest that have not hatched yet. She should have hatchlings any day now however, in the past week I have noticed dead eggs in the duck with the bird hanging out of them. I don’t know if another animal is doing this or is the duck is doing this to them but I was thinking of incubating the eggs for their last few days to make sure they are safe what are your thoughts?

I would.

If you really want ducklings, I would take the eggs and incubate. Understand that then you would most likely have to brood them.

The weird part is that she is still laying eggs in her nest.
