Some will stay with the nest to try to hatch the rest of the eggs but other will leave the nest completely. If it were me I would decide now which I wanted most, the ducklings or the chicks. : When ever you mess with a ducks nest she can give up on the nest and not hatch any of them after she has been sitting.
