Goose sitting duck egg

[TSOWOATNKC]

I have a broody goose (our Buff). One of our ducks laid an egg in her nest. Right now she is sitting on 3 goose eggs, and 1 duck egg. She almost never leaves that nest, so whoever laid that egg had a limited amount of time to do it.

Will there be problems with our goose hatching a duck egg? Should we remove the duck egg?

I hadn’t planned on letting her successfully going broody, but she’s so pitiful I figured I’d let her give it a go.

The problem i would see is her giving up on it after the other eggs hatch or vice versa because of the staggered hatch, but then again it is only one day apart... Sorry for all the rambling, i guess what i'm saying is why not try!
