My little Broody Call duck

[hayleymay]

Hi can Anybody help me I have a call duck that turned broody! so I ordered some Fertile duck eggs! She has been a really good mum only coming off the nest for 10 minutes but one of my other ducks keeps going to her nest and taking her eggs, A couple of times the eggs have been out of the nest and left in the cold! There is only 6 days left till they are supposed to hatch which is 26 days! as soon as I’ve noticed I put them back under her! I’m just a bit worried if those eggs won’t hatch that were left out I don’t really have any experience with hatching ducks as I do chickens thanks xxx

I would have moved her away from the others if possible.

How did the eggs do?

2 eggs hatch out of 6 and it was on day 31 so very late as call ducks are normally 26 ?

I am always happy to get two to hatch!

Is Mom taking care of them?
