blue swedish broodiness?

[stumble_n_mumble]

Alright well my blue Swedish is a year old and she has not laid an egg yet but since yesterday she hasn't gotten off my other ducks eggs. How well are they with broody is this a random thing. My Japanese and silkies take turns sharing eggs lol it is pretty hilarious

Hi! Both of my Blue Swedish girls were broody earlier this year. Most of the eggs in both nests were fertile and started developing, but went rotten. I had to pen them up for a few days to make them 'leave the nests' --- even after I threw away all the eggs, they kept going back to set.
Good luck!

My swedish mix started to lay at about 5 months old and she layed straight for about 3 months until I let her collect enough for a clutch. She sat on 15 eggs and only 1 got bad. She now has one duckling that we let her keep and it is 3 weeks old now and she is the best momma. We gave all of the other ducklings away at a week old.

Two of my girls went broody last August and one of those girls just went broody again two weeks ago. One of the ducklings that hatched last July is sitting now also, she's about two weeks in as well

I had another girl attempt to sit but gave up after 4 days. Recently she looked like she was going to be broody then she disappeared; i'm pretty sure the fox got her

All in all, out of my five girls I only have one that has not attempted to sit. I

my girls

Are you sure she's not laying? Could she be hiding her eggs somewhere? My ladies have made great mommas; I sure do hope you have good luck as well

My current swede assortment is the result of their mother (a blue swede) going spectacularly broody, and doing a fantastic job. of my current 3 swedes, 2 have raised nests of duckings well (at 1 year old). Good luck!
