Should I be Concerned?

[Ducklets1999]

My 10 month old female call has been laying and sitting on eggs on and off since November 2020, she has had around 3 large clutches of eggs since November, I’m just concerned is she is doing it too much, or shall I leave her to it (Good practice for the real thing?) she will lay a egg a day and constantly sit on it, any tips or advice? The most eggs she has sat on is 18 eggs which I removed as they went cold

By call do you mean a duck? You should probably repost in the duck forum you will get experts on there!

I asked to have it moved to the duck forum.

If she is ready to sit tight, day and night, and you want ducklings leave a few eggs for her to set on. If she is still laying each day and not staying on the nest night and day she is not ready to set. If you want her to set leave a few eggs out to see what happens, but you can't always make a bird go broody.
