Chickens hatching Muscovy eggs?

[WallingFarm]

Has anyone had experience with chickens hatching Muscovy eggs? I know Muscovy are good mothers and hatch their eggs but my father in law has 4 hens and they are all bloody. They keep trying to hatch infertile eggs. He's also not getting any eggs since they are all broody. I had the idea of giving him a few of my fertile duck eggs and see how that goes. He's been wanting a few Muscovy anyway. I don't want to waste fertile eggs if you don't think it will work. I know Muscovy hatch time is 35 days and chicks are 21. Thanks in advince!!
