Chicken on my duck eggs???

[Quackwacker]

Has anyone had experience with this? Long story short, I have a speckled white brooding on 9 Muscovy eggs. On on one hand I’m grateful because the Muscovy has a terrible track record with brooding. On the other hand concerned the chicken won’t stay the longer course of completing the job of hatching muscovies. Suggestions of those who have experienced this would be great. Thank you.

Hens will sit for up to 6 weeks waiting for something to hatch if left to their own devices. I don't break my broodies and that's about the length of time they usually sit. She should know that her eggs are alive and that she needs to keep sitting as well.

Good luck with the hatch.
