Duck Chat withdrawal ....

Hey guys has anyone ever had to ducks co brood on a single nest? I have two KC that seem to be doing this. I thought the one was just keeping the broody one company but they are both garding the nest now and hissing at me. There are eggs under both of them but it looks like a long oval nest.

I did last year, they sort of tag teamed then when the ducklings hatched they fought over them and ended up killing two ducklings before I could intervene. I'm not saying all co brooders will do that, I know people who's ducks co brood all the time just fine. Do be wary though.

I know in Chickens and turkeys co-brooding ends badly more time than not...I have no idea about the lesser breeds of poultry though...

I did that once, about a year ago.

It was in such a spectacularly bad spot, too.... They still remind me of it some times.

Well this is my first experience with social media I don't face book or anything. I know how to get on you tube and that's about it lol don't know how to do a lot of things ya all do on here like referencing a user or putting up a link. I'm tickled pink I can even upload a photo so I'm sure to make lots of mistakes! Hope I don't ever get detention!

Yes.....I just sold the other two Ducks and believe the one sold was still laying in the nest...I am happy because as the first Ducklings hatch out I can remove the other eggs and finish incubating...Green and White eggs...easy to figure out...Fingers crossed...Due this Sunday...I will have some figuring out to do unless my one Chicken Hen actually is Broody..?........Silly Birds....

Oh well I can make it work...lol....I have made so many mistakes hatching I have become pretty good at fixing my mistakes....

No, remove one Momma........I would....
