I'm relatively new to ducks so most of my questions have been answered by this site. That being said I'm having difficulty answering some questions I have. First my girls were hatched on or near February 24th and wondering why I don't have any eggs yet and wondering how to help them nest (ie. Materials)

Are you girls producing any egg's yet ?????

 

[ecv13]

One of them is and she isn't sitting on the eggs

don't know how it is with ducks but, broody chicken hens will lay a certain number of eggs before they decide to sit on them. Are you sure the others are female If they don't have a drake around they will not produce fertile eggs that can be hatched.

There is no male here but they spent a few days with some right before she started laying
