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.

Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
