Hatching goose eggs under a duck?

[Alliesan648]

Long story short, I need my incubator sooner than expected, my Embden eggs have about a week left on them. I originally set them as a little experiment because they were several weeks old and I didn’t think they’d even develop.
I currently have a 2 broody Ancona ducks sitting on the same clutch of 7 of their eggs.
how many Embden eggs could one fit under a duck?( or two in this case lol) Do you guys think I could fit all 5 of the goose eggs from the incubator and have finish them off?

I Don’t know about goose eggs underneath a duck but I’ve seen pretty amazing things with duck eggs underneath a chicken. They will try to fit in as much as they can..

also I found this threads....
