fudge cake my min silver appleyard hatched 3 eggs a wk ago and is still sitting on some eggs she has been taking daisys eggs and putting them in her own nest should i take them all off her now as i am worried she has been on her nest for so long but she seems happy and hisses at me if i try to go to close
 
I would scoot her off and candle them ot see how far into incubation they are, if theyre not far or not started at all i'd take them away, but i would pencil mark the ones your prepared to leave her with and then remove all the new ones every day :-)17
 
i have tryed to candle them they just look black with an air pocket at the one end
 
Is the air cell large? Keep any eye, they may be due to hatch soon, i would try them again in a few days if youve not had any ducklings, listen to them and look for movement in egg when candling.
 
thanks have just been in but she attacked me so will leave her till tomorrow and wait till she goes for a bath
