Chicken hatching duck eggs

[Rosebud 18]

I have a buff op. chicken that I couldn't keep off the nest so I put 6 duck eggs under her (about a month ago) and she has hatch 4 of them so far. I felt bad for her because she wanted some babies so bad. She is caring for them really good to.

Please keep us posted of the progress!! As a new duck mommie, I am just curious what will happen when the ducklings are drawn to water & broody hen has a fit calling them away from playing in it.
