Our mama duck is sitting on a clutch of 16 eggs, BUT 1. They are not fertile at all, cuz we haven't had a drake till recently. She had 13 of the eggs before we got our drake. 2. Will she eventually kick out the eggs if they're not any good? I felt bad for her so I gave her some of my fertile chicken eggs. I didn't think they would sit a clutch if they weren't fertile, but she is CRAZY broody! I'm scared to take them, she may eat me! LOL
I felt so sorry for my broody chicken that I gave her fertile duck eggs to sit on! Now the world is evened out.
Simple answer, lol... Hormones! I have 6 female ducks who all take turns sitting on eggs.... Even though we don't have a male... silly ducks
