Weird duck behaviour

[Soon2BChixMom]

We would keep only one egg to hatch the rest we would probably keep for ourselves . I read online that milk and bread will make her not lay eggs is that true? Because we do feed her milk and bread sometimes

No it is not true. You shouldn't feed her milk and bread at all (this is not good food for any duck).
As well, duck hens will lay eggs regardless if there is a drake or not.
If it were me, I would let her hatch her clutch and then get rid of all but two.

I saw it. It just took a long time to load.

What would happen if she had milk and bread often?

It could contribute to angel wing. It adds too many unnecessary calories with no nutritional value for ducks which would fill up their bellies and cause them not to want to eat their feed which is nutritionally made specifically for poultry needs.
Domestic ducks main source of food should be from feed and then limited treats. But, the treats given should still be in line with optimal nutrition in mind.

What should be their feed and treats? Because the 4 month old duck we give a bowl of peas and corn at 9:30 am and a bowl of peas and corn at 6:00 pm. Does that have nutrition or is it bad feed?

Is that all your ducks get?

Yes

We’ve been feeding them that since the day we brought them home when they were so so tiny and they’re perfectly fine now

Feed is generally found at farm stores. Either chicken feed or all flock feed would be appropriate. Peas, corn, milk, and bread do not have all the nutrients that ducks need for optimal growth.
I did think your 4 month old duck looked much smaller than mine at 4 months, but I wasn't sure why.

Is this good duck feed? https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/74624/peters-poultry-free-range-mix It’s at our local shop, we haven’t gotten it yet but when we do how many times a day should we give it to them and how much do we put in their bowl?
