Mines are for pets and meat love them all specially the drake's , hissing sound. I noticed that my white scovies are dominant than the black ones

I love my drakes too, although we don't eat them sometimes when their hormones are making them act crazy I wish we could.

Drakes here are usually the first to eat out of my hand and are more friendly than the ducks. When you say more dominant do you mean bossy? Must be girls lol

Is she laying her eggs in the nest with the one who just went broody? I would give her her own space so she can lay.I would mark the 16 eggs you just put under your broody so if any new one show up you can take them out, you don't want your hatch to be so staggard that mama gets up and leaves ducklings that aren't ready to hatch yet and she will once the first ones hatch. I mark my eggs by # starting with 1 with a washable marker.

I marked the all the eggs in the nest with the start date and which pen they came from.

For my second girl in this pen I'll make a place for her to lay. If that doesn't work out I guess I'll move her into the other pen. It just seems like broody momma would be happier with the place to herself.

Mine are, I have a really nice size stall for my drake and his 2 girls but because one of them is broody and she'll chase her sister all around the stall if I try to put them in there she has it all to herself and she doesn't eve realize she is sitting on fake eggs. my other 2 broody's have a stall all to themselves also. so maybe go ahead and move her but if she's not broody she may not stay and if she is and has chosen a spot to her liking she may not stay where you'd like for her to. They can be stubborn about their brooding places.

Thank you so much for all the advice! I left my broody where she wants to be and moved the other girl over to another pen. Everyone is much happier. Yea!
