So my Muscovy is sitting on a nest of about thirteen eggs right now and one of my chickens started laying a couple eggs. Is it ok to add those eggs to the duck eggs, let her incubate them and remove them when they start pipping? I don’t know the breed of chicken cuz I got them from a neighbor who also doesn’t know. I think they’re some kind of mix. So I don’t know if she will incubate them herself.
I know chicken eggs take about 21 days and Muscovy eggs take about 35. The duck eggs are about a week to two weeks old. The chickens are only a couple days. Also if the chicks hatch completely and we remove them does that risk her abandoning the nest?
