Ok we got really lazy and it started with a broody muscovy then spread to a hen we named terminator. She was attacked by a fox a few months we lost about half of the flock and as I was setting traps that night found her crawling back in the dark with at least 8 bad bites. Well she survived and between the two they have been sitting in 3 nests with 35 eggs. The first to hatch is a duck. They are in a big coop and my ducks,geese, and chickens free range all day. Should we pull the duckling? Will she continue to sit on the nests? Should I wait for the next one? I have never hatched out anything
 
Your question isn't very clear... You have a duck and a hen sharing 35 eggs on a nest? These babies will be hatching at different times or at the same time? If there are only 2 birds, how are they covering 3 nests? Will who continue to sit on the nest - the chicken or the duck?

I'm very confused with the question too!!
