Our duck is sitting on approx 10 duck eggs, which may or may not be fertilized, & approx 10 chicken eggs that are for sure fertilized. I'm thinking the chicken eggs should start hatching any day now but another 12 or so days til the duck eggs would hatch. My concerns are whether or not she will reject the chickens when they hatch?? If she accepts the chicks, will she ditch the duck eggs to care for the chickens?? What if she tries to teach the chicks to swim?? I'm not sure what to expect. Has anyone been through this?? Any advice or other experiences would be helpful. Thanx
