Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.

I bought a dozen eggs from the local craft shop & put them in the incubator. There were little brown eggs, green eggs & blue eggs. 21 days later 7 pipped & hatched, I lost one, it was huge compared to the others. They live in a biggish fish tank in my bedroom with a heat mat under carpet and a heat lamp.
I feed them the correct food from our local Petstock & I decapitate the meal worms head before feeding them those cos the guy who owns Petstock told me that meal worms can eat their way out of a baby chick. I was horrified, my poor babies.
Anyway, I will be looking here for anything that can help me with our new family members,
On another note. I've hatched a Silver Appleyard duckling this morning. My chicks are 7 days old.
When can I put them together? Or shouldn't I?
Cheers
