Well, My mallard hens nesting Exodus is nearly over, after trial after trial error of her stealing Rosilees nest, laying her eggs there, trying to set once, only to be constantly chased away by the H*****y mother freakers that are three of my call boys, having both Stencil and Akai steal her nest, and jeopardizing the eggs by sitting for hours, or even a day or two then leaving, and FINALLY having to box her in, tomorrow will be day 26
, she's been an excellent momma thus far, she has lots of water, and a food bowl in her little nursery pen, but she still only leaves the nest maybe once a day, as far as I can tell, she stopped turning the eggs on the 13th, and so far has only cast out three(one about a weeks ago, that looks like she may have eaten it, everything BUT the baby was gone inside the egg,the baby was tiny, and the egg shell stunk something awful, and this morning, two more eggs were out of the nest, I'm not going to intervene, and trust her judgement, and PRAY that there will be atleast SOME babies by tomorrow
