My Muscovy ducks went broody about a week ago. Two of them have been sharing a nest and it was working well until yesterday when I saw a lone turkey egg with the ducks. Today I found the turkey hen sitting on the nest with an additional 5 turkey eggs. Will she move off when the turkeys hatch and will the ducks stay and continue to brood the remaining duck eggs? There roughly a 10 difference between turkey 27 days and 35 days for ducks.... Anyone with any ideas? PLEASE HELP... I've been waiting for my turkey to reproduce so if moving her makes me lose the eggs I don't want to move her. Kim
