update: she's still setting. I hardly ever see her out of the box, but I did see her last evening. She was out for about an hour or more, but I watched from a hidden spot and I saw her fly back into the box and stay in. Last I knew there were 8 eggs. I wish my other female would lay eggs in the other nestbox. A wild Starling made a nest in there and has blue little eggs in it. Should I take that nest out so my other Mandie girl can use it if she wants? We're halfway thru the 4 weeks I think for the broody girl. I sure hope she hatches some babies. Will she protect them from the other Mandies and the Aussie Spotted ducks (2) and young chickens in that pen? I moved my teenaged chicks into there for lack of another place right now.( I've got too many young ones and these ones are too old for them and too young for the adult pen.)
