So these were both in one egg? Can you put something next to them to give scale like a quarter so we can see?

Hey EastTXMom
I am sorry that I am definitely a doubting Thomas on this occasion but everything we know about chickens and ducks indicates that this is just not possible.
First instinct is to definitely rule out that someone is pulling our leg, someone is pulling your leg and any other explanation. For example, thrown chicken egg landed next to previously thrown duck egg. Or, and it is a stretch, one or the other managed to squirm into the other egg in the throes of dying.
There will be an explanation but I do not think that the chicken and duck developing in the same egg is it.
Found this interesting web page. It's huge, just browsed it. But there seem to have been other "Chuck" sightings.... (called...Chuck. Who knew!)

ETA: There is an actual, narrated Chuck video!!! Whoa. It looks pretty real.

Interesting but what I read so far indicates a hybrid as in half hen, half duck not a chicken chick and duckling developing, separately in a single chicken egg
Wow.... you're off your meds again aren't ya sweetie.....? It's OK.... Smuvs is gonna take care of ya.........
I'm throwing the BS flag on this. I don't even believe you had a 95% success rate on incubation of 100 eggs.
This here is a kettle boiler . 
When the kettle boils it either puts out the fire or burns the contents . I believe in spirits . I seen em they come from a coil of copper pipe .My advice would be either have more or none atall .

Yeah, definitely not at all possible. For one, how would two separate species get in the same egg? Even if a hybrid was possible, it wouldn't be two separate species in the same egg, it would be one baby that was a cross of the two species.
So either this was made up as a hoax, or, since the OP mentioned they were tossing out multiple eggs, one was a chicken egg and one was a duck egg and they landed near each other and so OP thought they came out of the same egg.
There is absolutely no way at all that both of those were in the same egg.
That picture of a 'chicken/duck hybrid' at the beginning is just a duck that's had the webbing cut out of its feet. Blow up the picture and you can even see remnants of the webbing still attached to its toes. I feel really bad for that duck because it was likely mutilated to promote a hoax.
That second one is either a very sick chicken that's walking upright because it has something wrong with it, like egg binding, or it just walks that way. All chickens float. Chickens can swim. Just because it can float doesn't make it half duck.
You'll also note that as soon as they wanted to do testing on her, suddenly her remains were no longer available and had actually been burned, not buried, and the remaining feathers that they had had been 'thrown away'.
This is just biologically impossible. These two birds aren't just different species, they're different orders entirely. That would be like saying an elephant could breed with a horse because they're both mammals.
