so I have Pekin ducks Muscovy duck and one a goose I'm pretty sure they are all laying on the same nest is this normal
 
:welcome it happens, Sometimes it works out okay, and other times it is a disaster and the hens start stealing eggs from one another resulting in broken eggs. I see the possibility of two problems. Fowl are genetically programmed to leave the nest within 24-36 hours after the first chick/duckling hatches. This is so that they can access food and water. Given the varying incubation periods for the species indicated this may result in viable eggs being abandoned. Have a plan 'B' in mind as you may need to incubate these eggs. Another problem I have had with geese raising ducklings is that they sometimes step on them and injure them.
