Okay, so it does work. :) Do the ducklings ever pick on the chicks?

I was told placing a hen on a nest of eggs in total darkness (late at night) and letting her wake up on the eggs would spur her into the process. Has anyone had success with this method?

This should serve fine, but I wouldn't push the number past what you have. You don't want to overcrowd.

So I've heard of hatching ducklings under a broody hen, is it possible to do it alongside a chick clutch? Or would the hen abandon the ducklings prematurely because of the different in hatching dates? Any information would be lovely! -Chirp
