Sometimes they can be moved but it seems once they have picked out a spot it is hard to get them to continue to brood once moved. I have done it successfully from one building to hatching coop, but you just never know from one duck to the next. But you may break her from brooding but may save her life too.Tha'ts quite possible. However, unless I pen her in all the time, she's going to do this. I really don't want to pen her in 24/7. My yard has all kind of hiding places. Hopefully, she'll use them efficiently. We don't have as many predators as in the past which should help. IF I find where she hides the eggs, would it work to move the eggs to a safe location and her with it?
