How cute!
Yes- chickens can hatch duck eggs. I thought I would have humidity issues, but mine have done it. If you want her to raise them though, you have to account for them not being able to perch and jump as well as baby chicks can when they follow mom around.

Yes, chickens can hatch ducklings. I think you should let her give it a try
