My duck has hatched 2 eggs but has 8-10 more. Will she set on them
so they will hatch? She's been taking care of the 2 babies off the
next quite a bit the last couple days. These are her first babies.
Thanks,

If she and the ducklings are off the nest -- she has finished.
She will have waited for at least 24 hours while these were resting and
drying before leaving the nest.
The others are either dead in shell or infertile or eggs that were laid
beneath her by others so incubating at different rates.
If she has been off the nest for days then its probably too late to put them
in an incubator but if you have one - and the wherewithall to raise them
away from mum it may still be worth candling and setting the remaining eggs
if there is anything in them that still seems to be alive.
