Since its winter... and this is the only female duck and the other 4 ducks are trying to mate with her. Should I bring her in when it gets closer to when the eggs hatch?
P.S. You might have seen my other questions about ducks and ducks eggs, and i started with 6 one died hatched 2 and looking forward to gettting these 4 eggs.

If you move her, she may not accept her eggs after that.
Try instead offering bedding materials for her, and placing them near her.

Just let her be. She should not be sitting at this time of year anyway. Make sure she has plenty of bedding material available though. If the eggs do hatch make sure to get them in immediately. The ducklings will be wet and will freeze rather quickly.
If you really want those eggs though, put on some leather gloves and go for it. Make sure to incubate them correctly.

we had a duck set up a nest in a construction site. luckily the foreman decided to call the dnr instead of taking matters into his own hands. they informed him that once you move a duck from its nest it will reject the eggs. they cant be moved or disturbed. the construction crew make a makeshift house for the duck so no one could get close and chase her off and so they knew where she was and wouldn't run her over with their equipment.

Good luck trying to move those eggs! Most ducks wont let you go near them without biting. If she does let you though, she must trust you. I guess it depends on your relationship with your duck.

Leave her alone. If you go near her and her eggs she will attack you

Leave her be. She knows what to do.
