Congrats on a successful hatch and thanks for sharing a couple of photos!
 
Thank you all for the warm welcome! I really appreciate it and am already searching for help.
Like I said earlier, my chicken (Aurora) hatched a duck egg. Well, there were 2 under her so since it has been a few days, I figured I'd go see why she hasn't gotten off her nest.
I lifted my sweet girl off the nest, and to my suprise, I found TEN stolen duck eggs and a chicken egg! What!?!?
I have no idea when or how she got the eggs because I check them daily but my best bet was a few weeks ago when someone house sat for us, they only got the chicken eggs so Aurora egg-napped the duck ones.
Needless to say, I am baffled. Will she try to hatch them all? Will she ignore the baby duck that hatched until the other ones hatch? Nights have been cold and she is keeping the baby warm, but I am worried I will need to step in. I have always heard they will wait a day or two and then give up on the eggs to take care of the hatched babes, but clearly, this isn't a normal case. Lol any thoughts, suggestions or ideas!?
