Yes. This is normal behavior. Momma duck has lined the nest with very warm downfeathers and will sometimes cover the eggs when she decides to go off and forage for food. It is not uncommon for her to be away overnight but return early next morning to continue incubation.

our mother duck kept the 6 eggs warm for at least 28 days only to find one egg broken and then she left. there did not seem to be an attack on the nest. should we clean the whole nest up or only remove the old eggs?
