Summer heat making them broody. Possibly not fertile eggs.

I have 3 hens, a D'Uccle, a Frizzle Mottled Japanese, and a Cayuga duck hen. All them decided they are going to set on eggs. xD

I am not even sure the eggs are fertile. I don't think my mother's pekin drake can even reach his to black cayugas. He is a little fart.

The D'Uccle and Japanese hens are sharing eggs and they have about 14 eggs. The cayuga has 2 egg so far.

My question is the duck eggs might not be fertile. Could we get some different duck eggs and let her sitting on them? How do I got about that? I wanted geese, but I was told it isn't the season for them. She just started sitting today.

Well, they were fertile! We have about 4 or 5 chicks so far. Possibly more. They are still sitting on them. Even though there is 3 hens, they are taking turns sitting on them. They are very defensive of them. Started out with 14 eggs. I'll let them hatch out and then get pictures.

And more are still hatching and drying out.
