Will Muscovy hens start building up a batch of eggs to sit on before they actually start sitting? My laying hen isn’t acting broody at all, but i’ve been leaving the eggs in the nest for the past week to see if she will start. Will they be fertile if my drake has been regularly mounting her, or does she have to be broody to allow the sperm in? I’ve heard that ducks can control that. Not sure if I should collect the eggs until she’s obviously broody or leave them....
