Our stupid ducks keep going broody and sitting on them for 2 weeks and then eating the eggs :smack

Literally they will share the duty of keeping the eggs warm between the hens until there is like 20 eggs in there and then 2 weeks in they eat them all and start over. I've never seen anything like it. I'm wondering if i put them in their own pen and let them be broody if it would make a difference. Atm i have seen the chickens in there pecking at duck eggs as well.

Strange, never heard of anything like that. I hope you can figure it out.

Morning Mike

Cutest love story ever;

Cowboy, my Minorca rooster got separated from his mate Bella. He somehow keeps getting into the 8-week old chick coop. They sat like this the whole time I was outside doing the chicken chores.......
