My Muscovy hen has been trying to hatch out ducklings again after her first batch she raised at the beginning of the summer. But now she's trying to lay in a very dangerous spot and has been chasing and beating up my other muscovies. Does anyone know how to get her to stop being broody and be pleasant again with the other birds?
This is what she looks like at the moment cause of her constant broodiness, its not very noticeable in this photo but she also has sne bald spots from the different birds getting bck at her. Sorry photo is upside-down.

Remove the eggs, destroy the nest, and put something over it--cinderblocks or boards work pretty well. If she continues to try and set, you might have to use an isolation pen for a bit.
