Ok, as many of you know i raise ducks. This year we had 2 successful mothers. 1 hatched 10 and the other hatched 2. These blessed events happened almost exactly 1 month ago.
Now, for no reason, the 10 baby duck is on ANOTHER NEST. It averages about 95 degrees outside. I'm worried about all the energy this setting is going to take out of her. The other mother is laying again and sits on the eggs til about 10 with her babies. Is this normal?
And finally, I have a duck who was setting. All her eggs were rotten so we threw them away. She has continued to sit. She is now at 6 weeks, and under weight. How can i stop the setting?
