Sounds like the hen found the perfect place to nest and took advantage of it.
It is probable that the "visiting" ducks are part of her flock and just checking on her, if anything else was going on, you would hear the ruckus and see the fight or the evidence of the fight.
Momma ducks are similar to momma
chickens when it comes to protecting their nest and babies.
Drakes are only territorial about their hens, they will protect them for mating purposes from other drakes.
But they won't chase off other breeds from an area that I've ever seen.
If she is sitting, the drakes will check up on her but they won't try to breed with her again until next year.
