DUCK question....

[dab_20]

I would put her in the barn if the dogs are going to get into the eggs. They don't mind males around normally. I don't know how long it takes for them to lay eggs, we have so many ducks we don't know whos eggs are whos. We incubate ours, but since you don't have a whole bunch of ducks, I would leave it up to the momma.

The duck may wander into a private spot where she won't get bothered, but she won't wander too far. What breed are the ducks? It's really hard to know, because your situation is very different then mine... good luck!

The female is a Swedish duck. The dad (if she is going to lay) is either another Swedish, or a Malard...i hope its a Swedish...

Ok, I was going to saw if the mom's a mallard she might lay her eggs farther away. I wish you the best of luck. Having little ducklings around is so fun!

If I do move them into the barn (where they stay in the winter) do you think it will agitate her, when being in a different place then where she has been, even though she spent like 4 months in there?

It might, it might not. I would start moving some food in there, so she gets used to feeding in there at least.
