My duck has had a baby chicken!

[collingwood]

I have a broody duck that has been broody for a while now and has been sitting on four duck eggs and two chicken eggs and one of the chicken eggs hatched!

Congratulations @collingwood ! It will be fun to see if the little one decides it's a chicken or a duck, lol.

I'm so excited! And the duck's sitting on heaps of eggs! I hope they hatch! The chick is a wyeandotte cross Lohman brown!

It would be fun to see a photo (hint, hint), lol.

When are the duck eggs due to hatch? Don't they take longer than chicken eggs?The chicks will need to eat and drink within 2-3 days.

The chick was chased by the chickens until it got lost and died of cold...
