my male cracke dall the eggs!

[pekinduck<3er]

my male cayuga cracke 4 of my cayuga hens eggs!why did he do this she didnt she loved her eggs? and how to stop him from doing?

 

[cracking up]

I had Muscovys do that - they wanted to breed the mother while she was on the nest. The nest was high off the ground and the eggs would roll off and crack. You'll have to find a way to keep him away from her.

aww any more advice or stories he doesnt mate her any more much so that couldnt be what up and how to stop

 

[secuono]

separate the male.

i might try that but i only have two ducks it would probably stress my hen out.. or him i only have 1 coop and i cant seperate itn or build another.... so what now?

It probably wont stress your hen, she'll be concentrating on hatching her eggs. Maybe put a devider in your coop or maybe get your hen a nesting box in which only she can enter, one that your male wont fit into. If you put a devider (such as chicken wire) in the coop though, they'll both be able to still see each other and probably wont get upset
