I read online that white pekins aren't broody meaning they sometimes abandon thier nest. I also read that you can use hens to brood the eggs until hatch. My question is, will my hen brood the eggs of they have never laid a fertile egg? I new to duck raising lol.
It's true, they hardly go broody. The hen will sit on the eggs as long as she is broody irrespective of the eggs being fertile or otherwise.
 


I filled an old sandbox for em until i get their pond fixed and they love it. They dont have many feathers yet and with that said when should i let them swin in deeper water?

We're using this exact same sandbox! Unfortunately, it's not big enough for 6 full-sized ducks.
