I have a duck who has been sitting on a nest for about a week. I wasnt so sure she was serious at first but she seems to be settling in. Problem is, her eggs are fertilized by chickens. which apparently amounts to nothing. there are also a few chicken eggs under there as well. I am thinking about getting her some fertile duck eggs, but im wondering about the timing. is it too late to add new eggs?
 
I have found that duck's are very tippy about sitting.I had some go broody on 14 eggs then leave them after 2 week's.I would just nature take it's course she will eventualy leave them if they are not fertile.I started taking duck egg's after first broody season and they never sat them.It broke my heart cause of those 14 egg's were fertile that first one.
