Okay everyone got another question, my female pekin has started sitting on her eggs, granted there is like 20+ eggs in there I think. Anyway she spends most of the day off them but before she leaves the nest she has the eggs in little pockets and then covers them up with straw and such from her bedding. Should I just remove the eggs or let her continue to sit on them? The weather here is still in the mid 80's during the day and the lows only get to maybe 55. So what should I do, pull the eggs or let her continue to sit on them?
I would be apprehensive about a duck going broody this late in the year. Ducks are seasonal brooders and normally are broody spring and summer and are finished with their broodiness by fall season.
