Not so broody?

[Patty43]

My Indian runner duck has laid 10 eggs in a nesting box that I provided. I see her in the morning sitting on the nest, but by the time I get home from work she is off and running around the pen with the other ducks. This weekend I have seen her on the nest off and on (But only on for short periods of time) Seems like the minute something catches her fancy, off she goes running around. Is there any chance she will get serious and just stay on them. Will the eggs in the nest at this time be no good. Should I just take them out or wait and see. Thanks

the eggs won't start developing till she sits on them full time, maybe if she isn't serious yet she isn't done laying..but with 10 I'd think she should be..maybe she's just not going to go broody. you could take them and put them in an incubator..or I'd wait just a few more days and see if she does start sitting.
