Mallard duck hen 1st batch of eggs

[Linda4050]

My mallard duck hen has laid 17th egg so far. She is used to being on pond not in a pen. Should i let her continue and move some of her eggs to incubator. Is it possible she doesnt know she is supposed to be sit on them.

 

[chickens really]

Definitely incubate them if she isn't interested this season.

So day before yesterday after she laid number 18, she started sitting. So today i decided to take out 10 and put in incubator. This afternoon when i saw her off nest i checked the eggs ans she had laid egg 19. I think she is very confused lol.
