Moving a clutch

[littlebirchfarm]

Our Blue Swedish ducks have started a clutch, unfortunately it is outside of the perimeter fencing and absolutely unsafe once they start sitting. Can we move the clutch to a safer spot inside the fencing? We have a nice laying box attached to their house that they have been laying in regularly but obviously that isn't acceptable for setting. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help

Yes move it some where safe and out of the way so they still have privacy but easy to get to,. I have a broody inside a large dog crate. inside my goose house

I moved my Khaki Campbell's 1st clutch with my biggest shovel and right in front of her. She screamed at me the entire time, then promptly sat on her eggs and went on to hatch 4.

We ended up moving the fencing instead of the clutch - Billi went on to hatch 8 of the 10 eggs! Such a good mommy!
