Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do. 
I just set 47 duck eggs on Friday 4/27/12. If any one wants to hatch along that would be great! I found a hidden nest that my ducks had made but wern't setting on, we have had freeze warnings here and I didn't want the eggs to go to waste. So I brought them in, cleaned them up, and put them in. There were origionally 49 eggs but while candeling them found 2 that had "loose yolks" in them and discarded them.
I also have 12 ducklings now that are up for sale. They are Pekin/Mallard x, and Pekin/Runner/Crested x's. My have not yet started laying, as soon as they do my Mallards are going to be put with my mallard drake.
