Taking duck eggs from a broody Duck

[lrbricke]

Hi all-
I have a broody Pekin that’s been sitting on eggs for about 3.5 weeks- I know they’re about to hatch!

Can I take the eggs from her and put them in my incubator to hatch?

I’m asking because one already hatched and was trampled in the coop- so I’d rather hatch them inside and then put them out in a few weeks.

Thanks

You could--but why don't you put a barrier around her nest instead?
