Duckling hatching questions

[NicoleWinkels]

Hi there, I have ducklings hatching today or tomorrow in the incubator because my ducks weren't going broody. However about two weeks after putting eggs in the incubator, my ducks decided to build a nest and sit on their eggs. Now I'll have 2 batches of babies about 2 weeks apart. Will the mommas "adopt" the older ones when their eggs hatch if I sneak them in the coop?
Not sure what to do...

I wouldn’t think so, but you won’t know till you try.

Well you can place the incubator eggs under one Hen and remove the other eggs to the other Momma. I strongly recommend that you separate the Hens once the first eggs hatch.
