Question about duck sitting on clutch

[mysticpond]

Our Rouen has been sitting on her eggs for 3 weeks. She started with 18 eggs, then 20, now 30 eggs. Also a sometimes there are 2 duck sitting on the clutch. The more recent eggs are not in sync with the original 18 eggs? What should I do? What happens when the 18 hatch in another week and the other 12 still need incubation?

Either you'll have to finish the incubation or hope the other one will continue to brood the remaining eggs. Sometimes they will do this one will continue to sit. That's alot of eggs hope they have a great hatch.

Thanks for your answers.
Two ducks are both sitting on the clutch all the time now. Holding at 30 eggs. The first batch should hatch at the end of next week.
