I keep looking at the picture and trying to figure out how the ducks will use it as a nest. Please post pics of it in place.
My ducks lay eggs everywhere, but the only place the seem to sit on them for any time is along the shoreline of the pond. So far, I'm at 100% failure in three years of having any hatch. Thought for sure last year with so many sitting, but then all of a sudden, they just wonder off and leave the eggs. I'm also having issues with Oscar eating the eggs close to his house. We are going to fence off a nesting area to keep him out of there. That's one of my must do projects before spring.
Do you have any snakes eating your eggs? We found them in the chickens nesting boxes four times last year. And a couple others that where hanging out around the coop.
