Chicken taking over duck nest

[rosemary10]

hey guys, I don't know where to post this so I'm sorry if it's in the wrong thread!! Anyways, my Muscovy duck made her nest and lined it with feathers and started setting but when she got off to get water and food my Cochin took the nest over!!! And she won't let the duck back in!! If it was the other way around I wouldn't really care, but I worry that if the chicken tries to incubate them, after the 21st day or so she will give up and abandon the nest with the eggs half developed!!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Remove the chicken and pen it up to break it of it's broodiness. Let the duck hatch before she gives up too.
