Indo-duck - poultry who got used to care for the posterity independently. But sometimes she does not want to sit down on eggs, the owner should look for the reason of such behavior.
Indo-ducks meet on many farmsteads. These are unpretentious, quiet and hardy birds with whom seldom there are problems. The Indo-duck itself prepares a nest and removes posterity two times a year. But sometimes owners face one problem: the Indo-duck does not want to sit down on eggs. Why it occurs also what to do?
The Indo-duck does not sit down on eggs: reasons
There are several reasons of similar behavior of Indo-ducks. First, it is age of a bird: it still too young for incubation of posterity or, on the contrary, old.
Secondly, improper feeding and bad conditions of keeping. In the summer the Indo-duck eats what will find: grass, insects, small small fishes, etc. But twice a day it needs fertilizing (grain or grated fodder with flour). Continuous access to clear water and a reservoir where birds can bathe at any time is necessary. It is impossible to forget also about keeping of an Indo-duck. It is necessary to keep a fowls in the light shed without drafts, the floor has to be heat-insulated. One more cause of failure of an Indo-duck to hatch out eggs – the wrong preparation of a nest. To a bird in it it is uncomfortable, it is too much noise or light. It is better for owner to prepare several nests in different places that the Indo-duck itself could choose the convenient location. The Indo-duck can not sit down on eggs or throw a nest if she was disturbed during incubation. Not to frighten off a bird, it is possible to watch or remove eggs only in dark time when she sleeps.
What to do to the owner if the Indo-duck does not want to sit down on eggs
Usually the Indo-duck easily sits down on eggs, but if it does not occur, it is necessary to look for the reason and whenever possible to eliminate it. If it is connected birds with age, then to make it will turn out nothing. In other cases it is necessary to reconsider a diet of an Indo-duck, to provide her with various food and enough vitamins. Provide to a bird continuous access to water and food, build the comfortable shed and equip quiet places for nests. Even if it is very interesting to you how many the Indo-duck took down eggs and as she behaves in a nest, do not disturb her at all. It is better to remove excess eggs only when the bird left a nest. It is not necessary to worry that the Indo-duck will not cope with something during jumping or something will make incorrectly, this is a clever bird who admits to baby birds only the father of the ducklings. If to provide to Indo-ducks the correct care and not to disturb during incubation of eggs, then problems with emergence of posterity will not arise. But if it is not possible to seat a bird, the incubator will come to the rescue.
