mollyripkim Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Well I am pretty sure that Daisy is broody but wanted advice just to eliminate the possibility of something else. She has made a lovely deep nest in the wood chip, sits on it all day, although hasn't laid for a couple of days. She gets very agitated when I take her off but then will go eat, drink etc before returning half hour later. The drake calls her but she won't budge. She did do some panting over the weekend but she was in full sun, now erected a shade for her but other than that can't feel any lumps and have just finished a course of Flubernet. I suppose I thought call ducks were useless mothers so I didn't expect this. Has anyone else experienced this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller30 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hi yes I would say she is broody most call ducks do go broody and I think they make good mums its only some breeds that are useless she will stop laying eggs too are you gonna let her sit or have you eaten all the duck eggs for breakfast leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Thanks Leanne, thats reassuring, and yes all eggs eaten but not sure the drake knows his stuff anyway! He tries his best but doesn't seem able to stay on top if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
