    I am trying to hatch out 12 eggs underneath my dorking. They are ment to hatch out this wednesday/thursday. If some hatch before others will she still sit on the eggs or will she go of them?

    Thanks

    Provided they were all set at the same time they should all start hatching more or less the same time so she will sit until they all hatch.

    I would think she would still sit on them. I had a duck that started laying on eggs. Two days later, I gave her three more eggs. I went out of town. When I came back, all of the ducklings but one had hatched. So I can't be positive, but I think she laid on those even after the others hatched.
