Figured I should post this here, lol... I have had Call broodys sit together and raise their shared clutch without an issue, even a trio of broodys... but this is a completely new one for me...
I bought 2 Silvers from a friend, for the last 2 years they have tried sitting... but being the quieter, shyer ducks, they always got ran off their nests... my last 2 sets of fertile eggs, I finally separated them out and let them have their clutches... 1 hatched her clutch and the other hatched hers almost a week later... they immediately joined their clutches and are raising both sets of ducklings together, sharing duties over the entire combined group equally... and even the ducklings didn't have issues integrating together...
They're also both first time mamas, and are the fiercest protective ones I have ever seen, lol...
