You should leave it alone unless it is in an unsafe place. The place should be safe from outside predators for Hazel and her egg.

If Hazel is a close pet, you might be able to add some "filler" for her nest - straw or something similar.

If this is an area where your duck feels at home, then best to leave it and create a nest around it.

Funny, I was recently talking to someone whose geese laid eggs in an unsafe place, and, one day of their own volition, the geese rolled the eggs to a place under the house!

Maybe if you create a better nesting place somewhere safe and somehow encourage her to rest there, she will move the egg on her own.

I would leave it alone. If you move it she may think a predator got to it.
