I have 2 males ducks and 2 females. One of the females is laying eggs, but not sitting on them. I don't know which one. My question is that how do I make a duck get broody? I don't have an incubator and here the weather is 44 to 48. What can I do?

She will start sitting on them when she lays the last one.
I have one male and one female Peking ducks, they roam around freely we have a 4-1/2 pound. The male mount her three or more times a day. She had two nest last year that she laid and sitting on them until she threw them all out. This year she is laying again in a big bush of old trees that was cut down two years ago.
My duck stop laying eggs and I think that she is ready to set on them but she doesn't. I was wondering why?
My duck is only nesting at night
She will sit on her own after the last egg of her clutch is laid. Don't interfer with the process or move the eggs--it will only confuse her and may make her not sit at all.
My duck laid 7 eggs and hasn't laid any in 2 nights but isn't sitting on them does this mean she's not done yet ? I'm just worried the duck eggs won't make it .
I have a male and a female Muscovy, I understand they only start sitting on the nest when the last egg is laid. She has laid 7 sofar, but they are in the open and not protected from the elements, it has been raining alot, will the eggs still hatch when she starts sitting on them.
do you have a male or other ducks? do they like to stay close together? if so, then she probably doesen"t want to be far from her friends even she needs to sit on the eggs.
my Muscovy laid 12 eggs and has not laid anymore in over a week or two . is there a reason why she is not sitting on them ?
My duck has layed 21 eggs. She will some then stop then start again and she only lays on them at night tell 12 the next day then she is off again some if the eggs are a month old
Oh no my duck did not sit on her egg but i try to move the eggs and put it in front of her i did not know i am only ten and does ducks are my grandpa please help me what to do should i light the eggs because i also did that
What happens if you did grab one of the eggs to put it in an incubator cause it was really cold out
I believe she will start nesting when she decides she has the number of eggs to her liking. Please do not interfere or she may not nest and you will miss out on all those lovely little babies!

I am having the same problem. My Welsh Harlequin just started laying but she lays all her eggs in completely different spots. She gets locked up at night with our Drake, but she will never lay in the same spot as her other eggs. I am not sure what to do with the old eggs.
