« on: June 13, 2012, 12:18:27 pm »
have already posted about this duck a few weeks ago, she was broody... and vicious, after about 4/5 weeks i think she came off her eggs, about 4 days ago. today i noticed her sitting yer again... unknown of how many eggs, and she is out in the open where the fox might get her (our fox comes out in the day) she is very determined, and has already been thrown off buy a pig in the very first week last time she went broody...

Put her in a safe, fox-proof house/ corner of barn when dusk. Put her eggs under her a.s.a.p. and she will brood them safely. Make sure she has enough water to bathe in and so wet her eggs daily, or spray the eggs and nest. Give her corn and water close to her and good luck :hshoe: :&> :wave:
