Our drake has disapeared with the fox, that l would happily shoot given the chance. Only thing is our ducks are laying and one has gone broody. They are muscovy ducks and make good mums. How long after mating would the eggs be fertile? Didn`t know if its a bit long after 2 weeks, or a bit early to let her sit at all with the grotty weather we are having. Has anyone put a duck off from being broody? Any thoughts please.
