We have ducks mixed in with chickens in a pen........Two males and 5 females. They have "paired" off and one of the females nested with one duckling hatched. It's been about 3 days and no more babies. She nested underneath the chicken coop.
Today I was watching while momma duck and baby were out eating and drinking away from the nest. One of the male ducks went and rolled two of the three eggs out of the nest!
Is this a male dominance thing? Or ??? I was planning to remove the eggs tomorrow if she was no longer interested.
