Trying to hatch!!

[James Waterfowl]

Im raising Rouen ducks and tryin to figure out the best way to get the mother duck to hatch her eggs, any suggestions?

. Are these utility or exhibition rouens? This can have a big difference for brooding. I've never raised rouens but I don't think they are a very broody breed

I have two that are going to shows, im try to breed them so i can use them as utility ducks

I also have been thinking about buying some saxonys to cross breed for utility

from Alabama. Glad you joined us. Great answer from Kevin

Rouens aren't really known for being a broody breed, but then again neither are Pekins and I've had the hardest time keeping ours off nests this year lol. Good luck with your ducks!
