Question about broody duck and eggs

[Ducklover9878]

I have a duck who I didnt realize was laying again but is now broody. Its only been a few weeks but she lost her mate and the ducklings. I ordered hatching eggs for her bit they won't ship out until june 20th. Should I let her continue sottong on them or remove them and have her start laying again?

Thanks for any help

She may not stay broody for that long without eggs to sit on, but I’m not sure how long she’d usually last. For me, some of my chickens break quickly, and some take forever. She might possibly go back to being broody if you encourage her to sit on the eggs, but im not sure. You could try to keep her broody with fake eggs..
