Stressed duck?

[blayt90]

If she wants out, let her out till a day or two before hatch..She knows what she is doing...

She is out with the others. I have decided that if she does not go broody then I will put those eggs in my incubator when the ones that are in there hatch. So she has about 6 more days.

Put 11 of the eggs in with her and the rest of your flock and she will be more content. I have a muscovy that is broody I only see her come out of the box twice a day and she doesn't even have eggs because I take them everyday but she just sits on the nest anyways. You also should give her oyster shells.

She has free choice to oyster shells and my flock is only 4 adult ducks two males and two females and four males and 4 ducklings I bought around feb 14. Also I have Rouen ducks.

Yeah, you can't make them Broody so collect eggs and place in an egg carton in a cool room with air cells up and set on a book to rotate eggs daily till incubation day..Then lay on their sides till room temp and begin incubation..

I think the 26 are 13 each female.

Amazing. I hope one of the other will go broody for you.
