Welsh harlequin duck has been sitting on and defending her nest for the past week. I checked on the eggs and the mama today, and she was sitting on them, but they did not feel warm. Every once in a while I’ll peek into the duck house during the day, when it’s just her in there, and sometimes it looks like she’s half on/half off the eggs.
This is her first brood, should I be concerned?
She doesn’t seem to mind that half of the eggs aren’t even hers. She steals the other eggs. Will she stop stealing eggs once she has too many? If not, at how many should I stop her?
