Moving a Campbell Thats brooding

[dancerstanyffordd]

Hi all, ive just discovered a campbell duck sitting on a nest of eggs. Its not really safe where she is, what should I do and how is best to deal with it?

So I recommend moving her and her eggs to a safe spot where you think is best.
Make sure you do it at around 10-11pm. I say that late because they will be tired, and it will be dark. Also don’t use a supper bright light source, light will wake her up, and she will also be able to see. You don’t want that. If you need to use light sometimes, get a flashlight and cover the light part with a shirt, or just something to dim the light.

Hope this helps!

Is she brooding all day? Khaki Campbell’s have been bred to not be broody. When mine have had a secret clutch, they only sat on them for the morning hours and then where done by afternoon. You might want to candle the eggs and see if there has been any development.
