As long as you want ducklings I'd give her lots of hay or straw. She'll tuck it in around her to add to her nest. That will help her and the eggs stay warm. I'd also bring food and water to her so that she has plenty to eat.

I'd be more concerned about the ducklings than the hen. They'll have a hard time keeping warm if they get wet at this time of year. Do you have a place to put her that will keep them warm and safe? If so, you can control the amount of water the ducklings get so that they stay fairly dry.

Good luck!

Hello jhicks,
I was scanning past posting on ducks and came across yours. I'm just curious,how did this situation come out?

Until the neighbors dog ate/ran off our wild ducks. they hatched year round....in central fl. mallards and wood ducks. there were a pair of peking, store bought, first to get ate, and the female had no idea about raiseing young or nesting,

...also curious as to what happened to the crazy ducks... :)
