Hello everyone,
First time broody hen here and I just got four chicks and I don't have room for more chicks. My neighbor has ducks and I was wondering if I could let the hen hatch the duck eggs and the one egg of hers she is sitting on. I was going to place the duck eggs under her tomorrow night so I wouldn't disturb her. So if I can't keep her egg under her also I would take it out then.
Any advice would be great. She is a great hen and I just want to make sure I don't do anything to harm her.
Thank you!
Christine
