I've moved Lucky(not sure if she is an ex-batt or Lohman - Jock, can you help here?) to the duck shed as she was being hassled by Jamie, so she wouldn't come out of the coop. Now she's staying inside the duck shed too and sitting on what seems to be a nest - no eggs in it though at the moment. (the ducks don't use, so I haven't given them, a nesting box) I wonder if it would be worthwhile putting a couple of eggs under her? The ducks are fairly gentle souls especially Jack, so I don't think they'd harm chicks if they hatched. Funnily enough since she went in tehre only one of the ducks is laying and it's always outside in their little run when I go to let them out into their wee paddock.
