That's what I have been doing but, I wanted to collect some eggs to hatch but I don't know we're there laying or if they are even laying.

Mama's do the bestest job of hatching! Duck eggs aren't the easiet to bator tho if you look back a few pages there were some great detailed instructions. I found another couple nests started here but several girls are waddeling back out of the brush at feeding time so I'm expecting 6 weeks or so from now a whole truck load of babies to come following behind moms. The nests I can find at this point going to keep plucking all but a handful of eggs to let hatch.

Keep an eye out where they go at night - at first, esp. if it's cold they'll be on the nest.

they are safe, i worry about the rain getting to the eggs but other then that they are safe.

give them some shaving or hay or straw and let them build their nest if in a safe place, they'll keep the eggs dry and toasty.

They are awesome they even use the really steep ladder to go into the chicken coop at night. I do not know how the big clydesdale male gets up there but he does lol

Is that a couple of silvers? LUV the color!

On the whites, looks like the one in front L of the waterer looks female.
Heads and size of the other 3 look like boys - one hiding behind is hard to tell.

Talk about dedicated broody mama's....
Earlier 2 kittys had horned in on her nest - they don't much like the cold damp front that came in.
But is she budging? Nooooooooooo!
