Can I put duck eggs under my broody banty to hatch?

[ctaynton]

I have a silkie banty that is currently broody. A friend of ours wants to give us some duck eggs for our incubator but our incubator is full. I was just curious if I could put the duck eggs under her and let her hatch them?? Maybe putting her to work will get it out of her system.

Yes, you can. If she is really broody she will be able to hatch them. I have heard of a lot of people on her that let there chickens hatch ducks. It is very common.
