when these eggs were layed I let her sit on them but then a raven tried to steal one, broke it open and the ducks tried it out. After that mama was slowly destroying her eggs one per day (started with 7 eggs ended with me taking 4, so I took the remaining 4, they all hatched in an incubator one died later on, and then they’ve been outside in a pen inside the big duck pen, today I noticed that their mama lays right beside their fence all day so I decided to see what would happen if I put her in there with them and frankly she did better than I thought. At first she was a big anxious about being separated from the other ducks that are on the other side of the fence but now she’s happy as can be with her babies
