Will duck mom wait for all the eggs to hatch?

[Sae]

So i had fertile duck eggs in my coop no one would sit on. They were in there for weeks. Finally a duck sat on them. I was afraid they were too far gone and the next day added fresher fertile eggs. Well the first set of eggs hatched yesterday and this morning. They are not due to hatch until saturday (day 28) today is day 25. Will she sit and wait 3 more days for the rest to hatch? Luckily i have someone else i can stick them under if all else fails. She seems very protective of them and has stayed sitting on them and still rolls them around now and again.

How many ducklings are there? Usually a duck will abandon the other eggs if there are a couple of ducklings

Oh damn. Theres 4 ducklings in there now and 4 unhatched eggs. Thanks for the reply!

They will sometimes stay 3 days after the ducklings hatch I had a muscovy that did it. Put food and water close so she can show them where to eat and drink while she keeps sitting
