Is it OK to let a chicken hatch duck eggs...??

If it is OK, what do I need to know.

Do I need to mist them???

Anything and everything you know about this especialy if it is OK will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Cole.

I've never done it, but it is very common and I believe you just let the hen do her job--no misting required. My understanding is that the more you leave her alone, the better off the hatch will be. Good luck!!

I did it! I put four duck eggs (a friend gave to me) under my BO, and she hatched one. There would of been two, but the poor thing would of needed help getting out and I missed it.

So that was how I got my Carnie, a runner/campbell mix. I never misted the eggs, only candled them. She was a great mother!
