Muscovy and bantam cobrooding?

Any suggestions, I don't think this is going to work out so well? Looks really cute. They are both trying to set on the same clutch of duck eggs, I want the ducks to hatch.

I had this happen with a Cochin hen & Muscovy hen. Some of the eggs did hatch but they did spend a lot of time sitting on eachother and wiggling around trying to get comfortable and claim some eggs for eachother, i am sure that's why they all didn't hatch. I eventually had to move them to the incubator near the end.

I think I'll try putting my banty in the other coop. Hopefully if the big hens leave her alone she will settle in and hatch some eggs there!
